Emotion Recognition in Conversation (ERC) plays an important role in driving the development of human-machine interaction. Emotions can exist in multiple modalities, and multimodal ERC mainly faces two problems: (1) the noise problem in the…
Multimodal sentiment analysis has become an increasingly popular research area as the demand for multimodal online content is growing. For multimodal sentiment analysis, words can have different meanings depending on the linguistic context…
Speech emotion recognition (SER) has received a great deal of attention in recent years in the context of spontaneous conversations. While there have been notable results on datasets like the well known corpus of naturalistic dyadic…
In recent years, self-supervised learning (SSL) has achieved tremendous success in various speech tasks due to its power to extract representations from massive unlabeled data. However, compared with tasks such as speech recognition (ASR),…
Speech emotion recognition (SER) classifies audio into emotion categories such as Happy, Angry, Fear, Disgust and Neutral. While Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a common application for popular languages, it continues to be a problem…
In this paper, we propose MMER, a novel Multimodal Multi-task learning approach for Speech Emotion Recognition. MMER leverages a novel multimodal network based on early-fusion and cross-modal self-attention between text and acoustic…
Deep-learning based speech separation models confront poor generalization problem that even the state-of-the-art models could abruptly fail when evaluating them in mismatch conditions. To address this problem, we propose an…
Cross-lingual Speech Emotion Recognition (CLSER) aims to identify emotional states in unseen languages. However, existing methods heavily rely on the semantic synchrony of complete labels and static feature stability, hindering low-resource…
Emotion represents an essential aspect of human speech that is manifested in speech prosody. Speech, visual, and textual cues are complementary in human communication. In this paper, we study a hybrid fusion method, referred to as…
Advancements in monaural speech enhancement (SE) techniques have greatly improved the perceptual quality of speech. However, integrating these techniques into automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems has not yielded the expected…
Hidden-unit BERT (HuBERT) is a widely-used self-supervised learning (SSL) model in speech processing. However, we argue that its fixed 20ms resolution for hidden representations would not be optimal for various speech-processing tasks since…
The performance of speech emotion recognition (SER) is limited by the insufficient emotion information in unimodal systems and the feature alignment difficulties in multimodal systems. Recently, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have…
When recognizing emotions from speech, we encounter two common problems: how to optimally capture emotion-relevant information from the speech signal and how to best quantify or categorize the noisy subjective emotion labels.…
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) in real-world scenarios remains challenging due to severe class imbalance and the prevalence of spontaneous, natural speech. While recent approaches leverage self-supervised learning (SSL) representations…
Code-switching (CS) is common in daily conversations where more than one language is used within a sentence. The difficulties of CS speech recognition lie in alternating languages and the lack of transcribed data. Therefore, this paper uses…
Multi-modal sentiment analysis plays an important role for providing better interactive experiences to users. Each modality in multi-modal data can provide different viewpoints or reveal unique aspects of a user's emotional state. In this…
In this study, we revisit key training strategies in machine learning often overlooked in favor of deeper architectures. Specifically, we explore balancing strategies, activation functions, and fine-tuning techniques to enhance speech…
To establish empathy with machines, it is essential to fully understand human emotional changes. However, research in multimodal emotion recognition often overlooks one problem: individual expressive traits vary significantly, which means…
Emotion recognition in conversations (ERC), the task of recognizing the emotion of each utterance in a conversation, is crucial for building empathetic machines. Existing studies focus mainly on capturing context- and speaker-sensitive…
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) in a single language has achieved remarkable results through deep learning approaches in the last decade. However, cross-lingual SER remains a challenge in real-world applications due to a great difference…
