Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) task has known significant improvements over the last years with the advent of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). However, even the most successful methods are still rather failing when adaptation to specific…

Speech emotion recognition is a challenging task and an important step towards more natural human-machine interaction. We show that pre-trained language models can be fine-tuned for text emotion recognition, achieving an accuracy of 69.5%…

We revisit the INTERSPEECH 2009 Emotion Challenge -- the first ever speech emotion recognition (SER) challenge -- and evaluate a series of deep learning models that are representative of the major advances in SER research in the time since…

There is an imminent need for guidelines and standard test sets to allow direct and fair comparisons of speech emotion recognition (SER). While resources, such as the Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture (IEMOCAP) database, have…

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…

Relation classification aims to extract semantic relations between entity pairs from the sentences. However, most existing methods can only identify seen relation classes that occurred during training. To recognize unseen relations at test…

Over the past two decades, speech emotion recognition (SER) has received growing attention. To train SER systems, researchers collect emotional speech databases annotated by crowdsourced or in-house raters who select emotions from…

The recent advances in transfer learning techniques and pre-training of large contextualized encoders foster innovation in real-life applications, including dialog assistants. Practical needs of intent recognition require effective data…

Emotion and intent recognition from speech is essential and has been widely investigated in human-computer interaction. The rapid development of social media platforms, chatbots, and other technologies has led to a large volume of speech…

Critical analyses of emotion recognition technology have raised ethical concerns around task validity and potential downstream impacts, urging researchers to ensure alignment between their stated motivations and practice. However, these…

In this paper, we propose a multimodal framework for speech emotion recognition that leverages entropy-aware score selection to combine speech and textual predictions. The proposed method integrates a primary pipeline that consists of an…

Affective computing is a field of study that focuses on developing systems and technologies that can understand, interpret, and respond to human emotions. Speech Emotion Recognition (SER), in particular, has got a lot of attention from…

Previous work on emotion recognition demonstrated a synergistic effect of combining several modalities such as auditory, visual, and transcribed text to estimate the affective state of a speaker. Among these, the linguistic modality is…

Speech emotion recognition (SER) has drawn increasing attention for its applications in human-machine interaction. However, existing SER methods ignore the information gap between the pre-training speech recognition task and the downstream…

Speech emotion recognition (SER), particularly for naturally expressed emotions, remains a challenging computational task. Key challenges include the inherent subjectivity in emotion annotation and the imbalanced distribution of emotion…

For the task of conversation emotion recognition, recent works focus on speaker relationship modeling but ignore the role of utterance's emotional tendency.In this paper, we propose a new expression paradigm of sentence-level emotion…

Spoken language understanding systems using audio-only data are gaining popularity, yet their ability to handle unseen intents remains limited. In this study, we propose a generalized zero-shot audio-to-intent classification framework with…

State-of-the-art transformer models for Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) rely on temporal feature aggregation, yet advanced pooling methods remain underexplored. We systematically benchmark pooling strategies, including Multi-Query…

In this paper, we analyze the feasibility of applying few-shot learning to speech emotion recognition task (SER). The current speech emotion recognition models work exceptionally well but fail when then input is multilingual. Moreover, when…
