Speech Emotion Recognition with Co-Attention based Multi-level Acoustic Information
Heqing Zou, Yuke Si, Chen Chen, Deepu Rajan, Eng Siong Chng
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) aims to help the machine to understand human's subjective emotion from only audio information. However, extracting and utilizing comprehensive in-depth audio information is still a challenging task. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end speech emotion recognition system using multi-level acoustic information with a newly designed co-attention module. We firstly extract multi-level acoustic information, including MFCC, spectrogram, and the embedded high-level acoustic information with CNN, BiLSTM and wav2vec2, respectively. Then these extracted features are treated as multimodal inputs and fused by the proposed co-attention mechanism. Experiments are carried on the IEMOCAP dataset, and our model achieves competitive performance with two different speaker-independent cross-validation strategies. Our code is available on GitHub.
