• Abstract summary: End-to-end deep learning systems for speech emotion recognition now achieve equivalent or even better results than conventional machine learning approaches. We first trained and tested it on the widely used corpus accessible by the community, IEMOCAP. We then used the same architecture as the real life corpus, CEMO, composed of 440 dialogs (2h16m) from 485 speakers.

• Abstract: Recognizing a speaker's emotion from their speech can be a key element in emergency call centers. End-to-end deep learning systems for speech emotion recognition now achieve equivalent or even better results than conventional machine learning approaches. In this paper, in order to validate the performance of our neural network architecture for emotion recognition from speech, we first trained and tested it on the widely used corpus accessible by the community, IEMOCAP. We then used the same architecture as the real life corpus, CEMO, composed of 440 dialogs (2h16m) from 485 speakers. The most frequent emotions expressed by callers in these real life emergency dialogues are fear, anger and positive emotions such as relief. In the IEMOCAP general topic conversations, the most frequent emotions are sadness, anger and happiness. Using the same end-to-end deep learning architecture, an Unweighted Accuracy Recall (UA) of 63% is obtained on IEMOCAP and a UA of 45.6% on CEMO, each with 4 classes. Using only 2 classes (Anger, Neutral), the results for CEMO are 76.9% UA compared to 81.1% UA for IEMOCAP. We expect that these encouraging results with CEMO can be improved by combining the audio channel with the linguistic channel. Real-life emotions are clearly more complex than acted ones, mainly due to the large diversity of emotional expressions of speakers. Index Terms-emotion detection, end-to-end deep learning architecture, call center, real-life database, complex emotions.

  The process of identifying human emotion and affective states from speech is known as speech emotion recognition (SER) My research seeks to use the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to distinguish emotions from audio recordings and label them in accordance with the range of different emotions. I have developed a machine learning model to identify emotions from supplied audio files with the aid of machine learning methods.

  Emotional voice conversion (EVC) seeks to convert the emotional state of an utterance while preserving the linguistic content and speaker identity. In this paper, we aim to explicitly characterize and control the intensity of emotion. We propose to disentangle the speaker style from linguistic content and encode the speaker style into a style embedding in a continuous space that forms the prototype of emotion embedding.

Results indicated that arousal, followed by dominance was a better detector of such emotions.
