EVE: Emotional Validated Expressions, an acted audiovisual corpus

This paper presents the creation and perceptual validation of the
EVE corpus, a resource, in English and French, for speech emotion
recognition of audio and audiovisual content and for the generation
of verbal and non-verbal behaviour. For each language, ten actors
performed 10 linguistically and semantically neutral sentences with
different emotions (fear, anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, surprise,
confidence, confusion, contempt, empathy) and a neutral condition.
Each was expressed at two arousal levels, with two trials per level.
The emotional content of the corpus was perceptually validated
by 600 participants per language. The corpus is accessible through
