Speech emotion recognition (SER) in naturalistic conditions presents a significant challenge for the speech processing community. Challenges include disagreement in labeling among annotators and imbalanced data distributions. This paper…
The rapid growth of Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) has diverse global applications, from improving human-computer interactions to aiding mental health diagnostics. However, SER models might contain social bias toward gender, leading to…
Text data is commonly utilized as a primary input to enhance Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) performance and reliability. However, the reliance on human-transcribed text in most studies impedes the development of practical SER systems,…
Emotions (e.g., Joy, Anger) are prevalent in daily software engineering (SE) activities, and are known to be significant indicators of work productivity (e.g., bug fixing efficiency). Recent studies have shown that directly applying general…
Effective speech emotional representations play a key role in Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) and Emotional Text-To-Speech (TTS) tasks. However, emotional speech samples are more difficult and expensive to acquire compared with Neutral…
We explore cross-lingual multi-speaker speech synthesis and cross-lingual voice conversion applied to data augmentation for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in low/medium-resource scenarios. Through extensive experiments, we show…
We propose a novel transfer learning method for speech emotion recognition allowing us to obtain promising results when only few training data is available. With as low as 125 examples per emotion class, we were able to reach a higher…
In this paper we study the impact of augmenting spoken language corpora with domain-specific synthetic samples for the purpose of training a speech recognition system. Using both a conventional neural TTS system and a zero-shot one with…
