First, the emotion recognition is adopted as a pre-processing part to classify the neutral and emotional speech. Then, the recognized emotion speech is adjusted by prosody modification. Different methods including Gaussian normalization, the Gaussian mixture model （GMM） and support vector regression （SVR） are adopted to define the mapping rules of F0s between emotional and neutral speech, and the average linear ratio is used for the duration modification. Finally, the modified emotional speech is employed for the speaker recognition. The experimental results show that the proposed ESRS can significantly improve the performance of emotional speaker recognition, and the identification rate （IR） is higher than that of the traditional recognition system. The emotional speech with F0 and duration modifications is closer to the neutral one.展开更多
This essay analyzes a crucial difference in the ways in which erotic feelings are articulated in the sentimental novel from eighteenth-century England and Feng Menglong＇s stories of qing from late Ming （1573-1644）....This essay analyzes a crucial difference in the ways in which erotic feelings are articulated in the sentimental novel from eighteenth-century England and Feng Menglong＇s stories of qing from late Ming （1573-1644）. It compares Feng＇s stories and Samuel Richardson＇s novels with a focus on how they chart the courses of love affairs. The essay argues that English sentimental novels accentuate psychological depth while their Chinese counterparts preclude depth with ritualized expressions of feelings. The contrast goes a long way to explaining the bifurcation of English and Chinese fiction in modern eras; one gives rise to several nuanced forms of psychological realism, modulating narrative perspectives as a way of mimicking the complex workings of layered consciousness. The Chinese stories of qing, on the other hand, suggest a different theory of love, one that downplays subjective control of feelings in favor of the effects of social or accidental circumstances. They evolve into a fictional tradition that aestheticizes and stylizes qing, reducing it to a surface of fixed patterns by virtue of inserting verse pieces into prose narratives.展开更多
