BioS-DB: a multimodal database of individuals in a public speaking scenario, including emotional annotation

  • 1. Augsburg University

Description

The BioS-DB (BioSpeech Database), is a database of indivduals speaking infront of others in both German and English. BioS-DB includes 55 indivdual (33 male and 22 female), with a mean age of 28.9 years ( ± 10.5 years). Individuals were predominately German Natives (33) - and either students (30) or staff from the computer science department at the University of Augsburg, Germany. The average speech length was 45 s for German and 42 s for English.

During the speech, individuals were being evaluated for their emotion (valence / arousal) in a time-continuous way. Individuals were also attached to Blood Volume Pulse, and Skin Conductance sensors, while audio was captured from a lapel microphone and additionally a room microphone.

Version 2.0: This version contains the raw biological signal, and the individual annotations for re-computing the gold-standard.
