A multimodal hierarchical approach to speech emotion recognition from audio and text

作者:

Highlights:

• A deep learning-based hierarchical approach to SER is developed and successfully tested.

• Developed approach is successfully tested on both unimodal and multimodal datasets.

• Audio and lexical features are used as the modalities.

• Application of ELMo, for extracting lexical features, is successfully demonstrated.

• The proposed hierarchical approach is found to be superior to its recent counterparts.
