This paper proposes a novel method for speech emotion recognition. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is applied in this paper for the extraction of emotional features from speeches, and a deep neural network (DNN) is used to classify speech emotions. This paper enhances the emotional components in speech signals by using EMD with acoustic feature Mel-Scale Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) to improve the recognition rates of emotions from speeches using the classifier DNN. In this paper, EMD is first used to decompose the speech signals, which contain emotional components into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and then emotional features are derived from the IMFs and are calculated using MFCC. Then, the emotional features are used to train the DNN model. Finally, a trained model that could recognize the emotional signals is then used to identify emotions in speeches. Experimental results reveal that the proposed method is effective.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
