Abstract

The work presented in this paper uses speech analysis to detect candidates stress during HR (human resources) screening interviews. Machine learning is used to detect stress in speech, using the mean energy, the mean intensity and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) as classification features. The datasets used to train and test the classification models are the Berlin Emotional Database (EmoDB), the Keio University Japanese Emotional Speech Database (KeioESD) and the Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS). The best results were obtained with Neural Networks with accuracy scores for stress detection of 97.98% (EmoDB), 95.83% (KeioESD) and 89.16% (RAVDESS).
