Effectiveness of speech emotion recognition in real-world scenarios is often hindered by noisy environments and variability across datasets. This paper introduces a two-step approach to enhance the robustness and generalization of speech…
Automatically assessing emotional valence in human speech has historically been a difficult task for machine learning algorithms. The subtle changes in the voice of the speaker that are indicative of positive or negative emotional states…
Self-supervised speech models learn representations that capture both content and speaker information. Yet this entanglement creates problems: content tasks suffer from speaker bias, and privacy concerns arise when speaker identity leaks…
