| Abstract | A lot of research effort has been spent on the development of emotion theoriesand modeling,however, their suitability and applicability to expressions in human computerinteraction has not exhaustively been evaluated. Furthermore, investigationsconcerning the ability of the annotators to map certain expressions onto thedeveloped emotion models is lacking proof. The proposed annotation tool, whichincorporates the standard Geneva Emotional Wheel developed by Klaus Scherer anda novel temporalcharacteristic description feature, is aiming towards enabling the annotator tolabel expressions recorded in human computer interaction scenarios on anutterance level. Further, it is respecting key features of realistic andnatural emotionalexpressions, such as their sequentiality, temporal characteristics, their mixedoccurrences, and their expressivity or clarity of perception. Additionally,first steps towards evaluating the proposed tool, by analyzing utteranceannotations taken from two expressive speech corpora, are undertaken and somefuturegoals including the open source accessibility of the tool are given. |
