EmoNet is a lightweight attention‑based CNN framework designed for speech emotion recognition across seven categories. It combines a four‑block depthwise separable CNN encoder with squeeze‑and‑excitation attention, residual connections, a Bidirectional LSTM, and multi‑head attention pooling, using a 134‑channel acoustic feature set and data augmentation to enhance robustness. On a combined TESS, RAVDESS, and SAVEE dataset, EmoNet achieves 96.75% test accuracy with only 4.11 million parameters, outperforming a reproduced baseline and competing with larger state‑of‑the‑art 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.
