Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) has garnered significant attention over the past two decades. In the early stages of SER technology, ’brute force’-based techniques led to a significant expansion in knowledge-based acoustic feature representation (FR) for modeling sparse emotional data. However, as…
Conventionally, speech emotion recognition has been approached by utterance or turn-level modelling of input signals, either through extracting hand-crafted low-level descriptors, bag-of-audio-words features or by feeding long-duration signals directly to deep neural networks (DNNs). While this appr…
COVID-19 is a respiratory system disorder that can disrupt the function of lungs. Effects of dysfunctional respiratory mechanism can reflect upon other modalities which function in close coupling. Audio signals result from modulation of respiration through speech production system, and hence acousti…
During depression neurophysiological changes can occur, which may affect laryngeal control i.e. behaviour of the vocal folds. Characterising these changes in a precise manner from speech signals is a non trivial task, as this typically involves reliable separation of the voice source information fro…
