Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Emotion recognition in speech has gained increasing relevance in recent years, enabling more personalized interactions between users and automated systems. This paper presents the development of a dataset of features obtained from RAVDESS (Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song) to classify emotions in speech. The paper highlights audio processing techniques such as silence removal and framing to extract features from the recordings. The features are extracted from the audio signals using spectral techniques, time-domain analysis, and the discrete wavelet transform. The resulting dataset is used to train a neural network and the support vector machine learning algorithm. Cross-validation is employed for model training. The developed models were optimized using a software package that performs hyperparameter tuning to improve results. Finally, the emotional classification outcomes were compared. The results showed an emotion classification accuracy of 0.654 for the perceptron neural network and 0.724 for the support vector machine algorithm, demonstrating satisfactory performance in emotion classification.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
