Abstract

We introduce the openSMILE feature extraction toolkit, which unites feature extraction algorithms from the speech processing and the Music Information Retrieval communities. Audio low-level descriptors such as CHROMA and CENS features, loudness, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, perceptual linear predictive cepstral coefficients, linear predictive coefficients, line spectral frequencies, fundamental frequency, and formant frequencies are supported. Delta regression and various statistical functionals can be applied to the low-level descriptors. openSMILE is implemented in C++ with no third-party dependencies for the core functionality. It is fast, runs on Unix and Windows platforms, and has a modular, component based architecture which makes extensions via plug-ins easy. It supports on-line incremental processing for all implemented features as well as off-line and batch processing. Numeric compatibility with future versions is ensured by means of unit tests. openSMILE can be downloaded from http://opensmile.sourceforge.net/.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In current MER, it is common practice to use OpenSMILE, COVAREP, OpenEAR, and librosa to extract acoustic features that represent the emotional characteristics of the speech modality.

    “In current MER, it is common practice to use OpenSMILE [45], COVAREP [46], OpenEAR [47], and librosa [48] to extract the aforementioned acoustic features that represent the emotional characteristics of the speech modality.”
  • OpenSMILE features extracted with the IS13 ComParE configuration have similar performance to the IS10 utterance-level acoustic features used in prior work.

    “OpenSMILE toolkit (Eyben et al., 2010) with the configuration of 'IS13 ComParE' is used to extract frame-level features, which have similar performance with the IS10 utterance-level acoustic features used in (Liang et al., 2020).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
