Abstract

Emotion recognition has several applications in various fields, including humancomputer interactions. In the recent years, various methods have been proposed to recognize emotion using facial or speech information, while the fusion of these two has been paid less attention in emotion recognition. In this work, first of all, the use of only face or speech information in emotion recognition is examined. For emotion recognition through speech, a pretrained network called YAMNet is used to extract the features. After passing through a convolutional neural network (CNN), the extracted features are then fed into a biLSTM with an attention mechanism to perform the recognition. For emotion recognition through facial information, a deep CNNbased model is proposed. Finally, after reviewing these two approaches, an emotion detection framework based on the fusion of these two models is proposed. The Ryerson AudioVisual Database of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS) containing videos taken from 24 actors (12 men and 12 women) with 8 categories is used to evaluate the proposed model. The results of the implementation show that a combination of the face and speech information improves the performance of the emotion recognizer
