Context Aware Gender Determination for Voice Actor Recognition in Anime Video
Motoki Eida, Shun Hattori (Muroran Inst. of Tech.) AI2017-16
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) When we hear someone's voice from an anime video, we need to carry extra burdens of searching the end roll of the anime video in order to know about whose voice it is. If a system can recognize a voice actor from his/her voice on behalf of us, not only we can know about the voice actor's name without carrying extra burdens, but also we can acquire widely information about him/her such as his/her appearance information, blogs, related videos, related goods, and event information in the future. Our previous papers tackled a system of voice actor recognition with filtering by cast information extracted from the Web and similarity calculation based on voice amplitude and frequency power spectrum, but the system could not give enough good performance as voice actor recognition accuracy. Therefore, this paper tries to improve the accuracy of voice actor recognition by narrowing down candidates for voice actors by determining the gender of the owner of a target voice. The system utilizes the fundamental frequency acquired from a target voice and the context information of the content of spoken lines surrounding the voice, in order to determine the gender of a voice actor.
