Robust Speech Emotion Recognition

Speech emotion recognition models and feature extractors

Extracting Tonal Rhythm from a directory of speech utterances (audio files)

In order to extract tonal rhythm from utterances, execute the following command:

python main.py -a "/the_directory/where_files/are_located/" -e "emotion_tag"

Where -a is the directory of the audio files for a given emotion, and -e is the emotion tag.

This command will return the results in a spreadsheet. All closed and maximal patterns will be outputed in 2 different files. Pattern files will be located in the directory "patterns".

To extract unique patterns from a set when compared to another reference set, the following command can be used:

python main.py -r 'patterns/neutral_maximal.txt' -c 'patterns/anger_maximal.txt'

where -r is the reference file and -c the file with patterns to compare against the reference.

An extra parameter -d can be added to add activation values from an external spreadsheet.

To see all the parameters use the help function -h.
