Abstract

We present a study on the multimodal analysis of emotions. It will be used to create an emotion detector that can be implemented in a social robot. First, we specify the nature of the emotions studied. Secondly, we detail the main stages of the research: constitution of the dataset; extraction of the dataset from an image stream, a sound stream, and a text stream; classification of facial expressions and prosody in image and sound streams; labeling of the emotions of the text flow with a predefined typology; labeling the emotions of the image and sound stream classes with the tagged text stream. Thirdly, we discuss the protocol used to evaluate the research work. Finally, we present the perspectives of the research.
