arXiv:2606.16505v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding speaker confidence is crucial in educational settings, as it can enhance personalised feedback and improve learning outcomes. This study introduces a novel framework for detecting speaker confidence by integrating human-engineered features with embeddings from the Whisper encoder. To address data limitations, a pseudo-labelling technique is employed to expand the labelled dataset, allowing the model to learn from both human-annotated and model-generated labels. The framework combines traditional speech features including pitch, vo
The proliferation of advanced AI models like Whisper and the increasing demand for personalized educational tools make this research timely as it tackles critical data limitations in developing robust AI applications.
This development could significantly enhance the AI's ability to understand human nuances like confidence, leading to more effective personalized learning experiences and a richer interaction layer for AI systems.
The ability of AI to detect subtle human emotional and cognitive states, specifically 'speaker confidence', is improved, allowing for more adaptive and human-centric AI applications beyond simple task completion.
