Bridging the Gap in ECG-Based Emotion Recognition: A Unified Evaluation of Deep Learning Models

The paper evaluates deep learning models for electrocardiogram‑based emotion recognition, focusing on generalization across datasets rather than dataset‑specific performance. It introduces two open‑source tools—ARRC for standardized benchmarking and ARDT for inter‑dataset training—to merge three public AER datasets (CUADS, ASCERTAIN, DREAMER) into a more variable benchmark. Using these tools, the authors compare three prominent deep learning architectures and two CNN baselines with hyperparameter tuning and 10‑fold cross‑validation, revealing trade‑offs between accuracy and model complexity and providing a reproducible benchmark for future research.

SISER: Speaker-Invariant Speech Emotion Recognition with Entropy-Based Adversarial Training

SISER is a speaker‑invariant speech emotion recognition framework that combines wav2vec 2.0 for feature extraction with an ECAPA‑TDNN speaker discriminator in an entropy‑based adversarial training scheme. By leveraging self‑supervised representations, SISER reduces reliance on large labeled datasets and suppresses speaker identity more effectively than shallow classifiers. On the IEMOCAP benchmark, SISER achieves a UA of 60.63%, surpassing both the baseline (51.15%) and wav2vec 2.0 without speaker suppression (56.46%).
