Automatic dialogue systems used in call-centers, for instance, should be able to determine in a critical phase of the dialogue - indicated by the costumers vocal expression of anger/irritation - when it is better to pass over to a human operator. Ata (cid:12)rst glance, thisseems not to be a complicated task: It is reported in the literature that emotions can be told apart quite reliablyon the basis of prosodic features. However, these results are most of the time achieved in a laboratory setting, with experienced speakers (actors), and with elicited, controlled speech. We report classi(cid:12)cation results obtained within di(cid:11)erent experimental settings for the two-class-problem ‘neutral vs. anger’ using a vector of prosodic features and discuss the impact of single features on the classi(cid:12)cation rate. Recognition rates for these settings are best for a speaker-speci(cid:12)c classi(cid:12)er (one experienced speaker, acting), worse for a speaker-independent classi(cid:12)er (several less experienced speakers, reading), and even worse for a speaker-independent classi(cid:12)er with naive subjects performing the task of appointment scheduling in a Wizard-of-Oz-scenario where a malfunctioning system is simulated in order to evoke anger. The (cid:12)rst situation mirrors most of the settings reported in the literature, the third is closest to the ‘real-life’-task
