Speech Emotion Recognition Using Machine. Learning

Abstract

Speech signals is being considered as most effective means of communication between human beings. Many researchers have found different methods or systems to identify emotions from speech signals. Here, the various features of speech are used to classify emotions. Features like pitch, tone, intensity are essential for classification. Large number of the datasets are available for speech emotion recognition. Firstly, the extraction of features from speech emotion is carried out and then another important part is classification of emotions based upon speech. Hence, different classifiers are used to classify emotions such as Happy, Sad, Anger, Surprise, Neutral, etc. Although, there are other approaches based on machine learning algorithms for identifying emotions. Speech Emotion Recognition is a current research topic because of its wide range of applications and it became a challenge in the field of speech processing too. We have carried out a brief study on Speech Emotion Analysis along with Emotion Recognition. Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) can be defined as extraction of the emotional state of the speaker from his or her speech signal. There are few universal emotions including Neutral, Anger,. we have worked on different tools to be used in SER. SER is tough because emotions are subjective and annotating audio is challenging task. Emotion recognition is the part of speech recognition which is gaining more popularity and need for it increases enormously. We have classified based on different type of emotions to detect from speech.
