Abstract: Sincerity is an important characteristic of communicative behavior which represents an honest, truthful, and genuine display of verbal and non-verbal expressions. Individuals who are deemed sincere often appear more charismatic and can influence a large number of people. In this paper, we propose a multi-model fusion framework to identify sincerely delivered apologies by modelling difference between acoustics of sincere and insincere utterances. The efficacy of this framework is benchmarked using the Sincere Apology Corpus (SAC). We show that our proposed methods can improve the baseline classification performance (in terms of unweighted average recall) for SAC from 66.02% to 70.97% for the validation partition and 66.61% to 75.49% for the test partition. Moreover, as part of our investigation, we found that gender dependency can influence the classification performance of machine learning models, with models trained for male subjects performing better than those trained for female subjects.

Keywords: Sincerity; affective computing; social signal processing
