Speech emotion recognition for the Urdu language: Dataset and evaluation.

Crafting reliable Speech Emotion Recognition systems is an arduous task that inevitably requires large amounts of data for training purposes. Such voluminous datasets are currently obtainable in only a few languages, including English, German, and Italian. In this work, we present SEMOUR + : a Scrip...

      ab: Crafting reliable Speech Emotion Recognition systems is an arduous task that inevitably requires large amounts of data for training purposes. Such voluminous datasets are currently obtainable in only a few languages, including English, German, and Italian. In this work, we present SEMOUR + : a Scripted EMOtional Speech Repository for Urdu, the first scripted database of emotion-tagged and diverse-accent speech in the Urdu language, to design an Urdu Speech Emotion Recognition system. Our gender-balanced 14-h repository contains 27, 640 unique instances recorded by 24 native speakers eliciting a syntactically complex script. The dataset is phonetically balanced, and reliably exhibits varied emotions, as marked by the high agreement scores among human raters in experiments. We also provide various baseline speech emotion prediction scores on SEMOUR + , which could be utilized for multiple applications like personalized robot assistants, diagnosis of psychological disorders, getting feedback from a low-tech-enabled population, etc. In a speaker-independent experimental setting, our ensemble model accurately predicts an emotion with a state-of-the-art 56 % accuracy.
