Voice Emotion Recognition using CNN and Decision Tree

This paper presents the use of decision tree and CNN as classifier to classify the emotions from the English and Kannada audio data. The performance of CNN and DT are potential for various emotions. Comparative study of the classifiers using various parameters is presented. The performance of CNN has been identified as the best classifier for emotion recognition. Emotions are recognized with 72% and 63% accuracy using CNN and Decision Tree algorithms respectively. MFCC features are extracted from the audio signals and Model is trained, tested and evaluated accordingly by changing the parameters. Speech Emotion Recognition system is useful in psychiatric diagnosis, lie detection, call centre conversations, customer voice review, voice messages.
