Decoding Emotions From Speech Using Deep Learning

Speech Emotion Recognition: A Deep Learning Approach

In a remarkable advancement within the field of artificial intelligence, a project


on speech emotion recognition has been developed, utilizing the Python programming
language. This project represents a significant classification challenge within the
realm of deep learning. A LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) neural network has been
built to classify emotions from audio files. This system identifies emotions based
on voice modulation, pitch, and other audible attributes, with the aim of correctly
categorizing the underlying emotion of the speech.

The dataset employed for this project is the Toronto emotional speech set (TESS),
available on Kaggle, but it is noted that additional datasets are also available
and may be incorporated to enrich the training process. The dataset encompasses
2800 samples, featuring various emotions labeled accordingly, allowing for
effective model training.

Implementation and Data Insight

The classifier's development began on Kaggle's platform, where the data was
downloaded and processed. Initially, audio files in .wav format were sorted into
different folders based on the emotion they represent. The computational work was
facilitated by using Kaggle's notebook, which is akin to a Jupyter notebook,
enabling efficient code execution and analysis.

Key libraries such as numpy, os, seaborn, matplotlib, librosa, and IPython.display
were imported for data handling and visualization. The data processing included
extracting the file paths and labels from the dataset and loading these into a
Pandas DataFrame for ease of manipulation.

Exploratory Data Analysis and Feature Extraction

An exploratory data analysis (EDA) offered insightful visualizations of the


dataset, demonstrating equal distribution across various emotional classes. A
function was developed to display wave plots and spectrograms for different
emotions, providing an auditory and visual indication of the emotion depicted in
the audio samples.

Model Training and Validation

The training process utilized a GPU accelerator to promptly iterate through epochs,
showcasing soaring accuracy levels that quickly reached approximately 99% for both
training and validation sets. This significant feat underscored the model's
robustness and its proficiency in speech emotion recognition.

Subsequent to model training, the results were plotted, revealing a sharp


escalation in both training and validation accuracies after initial epochs, with a
stable maintenance of high accuracy levels thereafter.

Conclusion and Evaluation

The LSTM classifier demonstrated extraordinary performance, nearly reaching 100%


accuracy in identifying the correct emotions from speech. This outcome highlighted
not only the strength of the chosen model architecture and features but also the
potential wide applicability of such speech emotion recognition systems. Interested
parties are encouraged to further experiment with additional datasets and
modifications to the model to potentially enhance its predictive power.

Final Thoughts

The journey from understanding the dataset to creating and validating a proficient
model represents a remarkable achievement within the scope of deep learning and
artificial intelligence. Speech emotion recognition can play pivotal roles across
various sectors by assisting in gauging human emotions, thus being an asset for
many practical applications in technology.
