“You Seem Aggressive!” Monitoring Anger in a Practical Application

Felix Burkhardt


Abstract
A monitoring system to detect emotional outbursts in day-to-day communication is presented. The anger monitor was tested in a household and in parallel in an office surrounding. Although the state of the art of emotion recognition seems sufficient for practical applications, the acquisition of good training material remains a difficult task, as cross database performance is too low to be used in this context. A solution will probably consist of the combination of carefully drafted general training databases and the development of usability concepts to (re-) train the monitor in the field.
