Enriching Speech Emotion Representations with Conversational Context

The paper introduces ACERT, a module that incorporates a flexible-length window of conversational context to enhance Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). By capturing emotional evolution across utterances, ACERT outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods on IEMOCAP, sets a new context‑aware benchmark on SAFE, and achieves strong results on MELD. Ablation studies attribute ACERT’s improvements to emotional and conversational continuity rather than speaker identity or acoustic conditions.

Dual-Scale State-Space Modeling with Speaker-Wise Dynamic CRF for Speech Emotion Recognition in Conversation

The paper introduces DSSM-CRF, an audio‑only architecture for conversational speech emotion recognition that separates cross‑speaker contextual influence from within‑speaker emotion evolution. It uses bidirectional state‑space models to encode fused self‑supervised speech representations at both frame and dialogue scales, then orders each speaker’s utterances into an independent dynamic conditional random field chain. The model achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on IEMOCAP and MELD, with complementary gains from speaker‑wise factorization and CRF modeling.
