Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes a laughter detection method based on auditory attributes to detect special laughter such as a fake laughter. The proposed method consists of feature extraction and identification sections used three features: acoustic features, sound quality metrics (SQM), and timbral attributes (TA) as auditory impression. Threshold determination and support vector machine (SVM) were used in the identification section. Laughter and voices (as non-laughter) were analyzed to determine thresholds for identifying laughter on SQM and TA, then these results of thresholding were trained by using the SVM for laughter detection. The proposed methods were evaluated using both sounds of laughter and non-laughter. As results, the detection rate of the base proposed method could be improved about 20% and the false acceptance rate was halved compared with the conventional method that used only acoustic features. Furthermore, the detection rate of fake laughter and nose laughter could be improved by the proposed method in which features were selectively chosen.
