A Review on Shouted Speech Detection Technique

Abstract

The primary cause of competitive speech in TV news debates is disagreement among panel members. In competitive situations, panel members frequently interrupt the active speaker to emphasize their point of view. In most cases, neither the active speaker nor the interrupters stop speaking. As a result, extended periods of continuous speech overlap occur. Speaker conflicts are unpleasant for the active speaker and can provoke aggressive responses. In most cases, induced aggression manifests as shouted speech. As a result, the presence of shouted and overlapped speech in TV news debates may be regarded as critical cues for detecting competitive speech. As a result, an in-depth understanding of the acoustics of shouted and overlapped speech is required. Previous speech researchers attempted to understand various aspects of shouted, overlapping, and competitive speech as separate tasks. The current thesis was motivated by the limitations of the available literature.
