The BA-Fusion score database [34] was built from the XM2VTS database [35] using face and speech modalities.
The BANCA score database [36] is composed of face and speech modalities from 52 subjects in two groups.
Past literature on emotions and stress suggests that a number of speech production parameters can be affected by varying speech modalities [18 21].
Another interesting aspect of the proposed framework is that it could be applied to some other speech modalities by appropriate selection of the activity detector.
Speaker recognition systems could also be divided according to the speech modalities: text-dependent (fixed-text) recognition and text-independent (free-text) recognition.
The authors suggest that focusing on a non-speech modality may reduce the pressure on parents to achieve some kind of success in their communication with their children.
They were selected due to the richness of the interacting modalities available in this genre, including a variety of language modalities (speech, text in the form of subtitles or in graphics etc)., image modalities (dynamic images) gestures, and other body movements.
The two types of interventions are: (i) message intervention where information is conveyed to the user either through text to speech (Auditory modality) or a textual message displayed on a screen (visual modality) (ii) action intervention, using sound (an alarm, prompt or music) or visual stimulus (a light being turned on, picture and/or textual message being automatically displayed).
