Automatic speech emotion recognition (SER) is a challenging component of human-computer interaction (HCI). Existing literatures mainly focus on evaluating the SER performance by means of training and testing on a single corpus with a single language setting. However, in many practical applications, there are great differences between the training corpus and testing corpus. Due to the diversity of different speech emotional corpus or languages, most previous SER methods do not perform well when applied in real-world cross-corpus or cross-language scenarios. Inspired by the powerful feature learning ability of recently-emerged deep learning techniques, various advanced deep learning models have increasingly been adopted for cross-corpus SER. This paper aims to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of cross-corpus SER, especially for various deep learning techniques associated with supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised learning in this area. In addition, this paper also highlights different challenges and opportunities on cross-corpus SER tasks, and points out its future trends.

<div>Traditionally, speech emotion recognition (SER) research has relied on manually handcrafted acoustic features using feature engineering. However, the design of handcrafted features for complex SER tasks requires significant manual effort, which impedes generalisability and slows the pace of innovation. This has motivated the adoption of representation learning techniques that can automatically learn an intermediate representation of the input signal without any manual feature engineering. Representation learning has led to improved SER performance and enabled rapid innovation. Its effectiveness has further increased with advances in deep learning (DL), which has facilitated deep representation learning where hierarchical representations are automatically learned in a data-driven manner. This paper presents the first comprehensive survey on the important topic of deep representation learning for SER. We highlight various techniques, related challenges and identify important future areas of research. Our survey bridges the gap in the literature since existing surveys either focus on SER with hand-engineered features or representation learning in the general setting without focusing on SER.</div>

The advancements in neural networks and the on-demand need for accurate and near real-time Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) in human–computer interactions make it mandatory to compare available methods and databases in SER to achieve feasible solutions and a firmer understanding of this open-ended problem. The current study reviews deep learning approaches for SER with available datasets, followed by conventional machine learning techniques for speech emotion recognition. Ultimately, we present a multi-aspect comparison between practical neural network approaches in speech emotion recognition. The goal of this study is to provide a survey of the field of discrete speech emotion recognition.

With the development of social media and human-computer interaction, video has become one of the most common data formats. As a research hotspot, emotion recognition system is essential to serve people by perceiving people’s emotional state in videos. In recent years, a large number of studies focus on tackling the issue of emotion recognition based on three most common modalities in videos, that is, face, speech and text. The focus of this paper is to sort out the relevant studies of emotion recognition using facial, speech and textual cues due to the lack of review papers concentrating on the three modalities. On the other hand, because of the effective leverage of deep learning techniques to learn latent representation for emotion recognition, this paper focuses on the emotion recognition method based on deep learning techniques. In this paper, we firstly introduce widely accepted emotion models for the purpose of interpreting the definition of emotion. Then we introduce the state-of-the-art for emotion recognition based on unimodality including facial expression recognition, speech emotion recognition and textual emotion recognition. For multimodal emotion recognition, we summarize the feature-level and decision-level fusion methods in detail. In addition, the description of relevant benchmark datasets, the definition of metrics and the performance of the state-of-the-art in recent years are also outlined for the convenience of readers to find out the current research progress. Ultimately, we explore some potential research challenges and opportunities to give researchers reference for the enrichment of emotion recognition-related researches.

Speech signals contain abundant information on personal emotions, which plays an important part in the representation of human potential characteristics and expressions. However, the deficiency of emotion speech data affects the development of speech emotion recognition (SER), which also limits the promotion of recognition accuracy. Currently, the most effective approach is to make use of unsupervised feature learning techniques to extract speech features from available speech data and generate emotion classifiers with these features. In this paper, we proposed to implement autoencoders such as a denoising autoencoder (DAE) and an adversarial autoencoder (AAE) to extract the features from LibriSpeech for model pre-training, and then conducted experiments on the Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture (IEMOCAP) datasets for classification. Considering the imbalance of data distribution in IEMOCAP, we developed a novel data augmentation approach to optimize the overlap shift between consecutive segments and redesigned the data division. The best classification accuracy reached 78.67% (weighted accuracy, WA) and 76.89% (unweighted accuracy, UA) with AAE. Compared with state-of-the-art results to our knowledge (76.18% of WA and 76.36% of UA with the supervised learning method), we achieved a slight advantage. This suggests that using unsupervised learning benefits the development of SER and provides a new approach to eliminate the problem of data scarcity.
