Hi all,
I just have the idea that it might be useful, with text-to-speech
synthesis in mind, to be able to express emotion state duration not only
with respect to time or sample values but also as a percentage.
Example for an speech synthesizer going from sadness to anger (embedded
in SSML):
<speak version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis"
xml:lang="en-US">
<voice gender="female">
<prosody contour="(0%,+20Hz)(10%,+30%)(40%,+10Hz)">
Hi, am sad know but start getting angry...
</prosody>
</voice>
<emotion>
<category name="sadness"/>
<timing start="10%" end="50%"/>
</emotion>
<emotion>
<category name="anger"/>
<timing start="50%" end="100%"/>
</emotion>
</speak>
Otherwise it would be difficult to specifiy a progression when absolute
duration is unknown.
Regards,
felix
