Speech Emotion Recognition Using Data Augmentation

Speech emotion recognition (SER) is a vital aspect of human-computer interaction systems, enabling applications such as virtual assistants, affective computing, and mental health monitoring. In this work, deep learning methods to audio data to suggest a fresh approach to SER are applied. While still in its infancy, CNN is capable of accurately identifying emotions in human speech, but it requires careful study in order to produce reliable results.This studywas done using a heterogeneous dataset that included recordings of different emotional states from many sources, such as TESS, RAVDESS, SAVEE, CREMAD, and others. A deep neural network model was built with many fully connected layers and ReLU activation functions after preprocessing and feature extraction. The suggested method’ s effectiveness was assessed using common performance indicators like F1-score, recall, accuracy, and precision. Our tests produced encouraging outcomes, with an accuracy of 84% on the test dataset. This demonstrates how well the suggested technique works to discern emotions from speech audio information.
