Feature Extraction from Speech Data for Emotion Recognition

In recent years the workings which requires human-machine interaction such as speech recognition, emotion recognition from speech recognition is increasing. Not only the speech recognition also the features during the conversation is studied like melody, emotion, pitch, emphasis. It has been proven with the research that it can be reached meaningful results using prosodic features of speech. In this paper we performed pre-processing necessary for emotion recognition from speech data. We extract features from speech signal. To recognize emotion it has been extracted Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) from the signals. And we classified with k-NN algorithm. 
