| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | This paper presents a new speech emotion recognition method based on representation learning and data augmentation. To improve the robustness against unseen speech, the conventional representation learning-based emotion recognition method utilizes a latent variable extracted by an unsupervisedly-learned speech reconstruction model to train an emotion recognizer using a limited amount of supervised data. However, the latent variable is expected to include not only an informative factor for emotion recognition but also less informative factors, such as phonetic and speaker information. The proposed method alleviates the effects of these less informative factors on the latent variable. To reduce the effects of a phonetic factor, phonetic posteriorgram (PPG) is provided as an auxiliary input of the reconstruction model in representation learning. Moreover, the effects of a speaker factor is mitigated by data augmentation to generate utterances with various speaker characteristics by using a speech morphing technique. Experimental results show that the proposed representation learning method using PPG outperforms the conventional method. |
