Resumo


Considering the human-machine relationship, affective computing aims to allow computers to recognize or express emotions. Speech Emotion Recognition is a task from affective computing that aims to recognize emotions in an audio utterance. The most common way to predict emotions from the speech is using pre-determined classes in the offline mode. In that way, emotion recognition is restricted to the number of classes. To avoid this restriction, dimensional emotion recognition uses dimensions such as valence, arousal, and dominance to represent emotions with higher granularity. Existing approaches propose using textual information to improve results for the valence dimension. Although recent efforts have tried to improve results on speech emotion recognition to predict emotion dimensions, they do not consider real-world scenarios where processing the input quickly is necessary. Considering these aspects, we take the first step towards creating a bimodal approach for dimensional speech emotion recognition in streaming. Our approach combines sentence and audio representations as input to a recurrent neural network that performs speechemotion recognition. Our final architecture achieves a Concordance Correlation Coefficient of 0.5915 for arousal, 0.1431 for valence, and 0.5899 for dominance in the IEMOCAP dataset.
