EVE: Emotional Validated Expressions, an acted audiovisual corpus

EVE corpus is a resource for speech emotion recognition in English and French audio and audiovisual content. For each language, ten native or near-native actors per language performed 10 linguistically and semantically neutral sentences with different emotions: six basic (fear, anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, surprise), and four complex (confidence, confusion, contempt, empathy). Each was expressed at two arousal levels, with two trials per level. Additionally, each sentence was also produced in a neutral condition, leading to a total of 4,100 recordings. The emotional content of the corpus was perceptually validated by 600 participants per language. The audiovisual recordings were made in high-definition quality following a rigorous methodology, positioning the EVE corpus as a valuable tool for academic and development purposes.
