- Mixed (all datasets)
- Prepared Speech PT_BR (TEDx Portuguese)
- Prepared Speech PT_PT (TEDx Portuguese)
- Spontaneous Speech (ALIP, C-Oral Brasil, SP2010, NURC-RE*)
* (also contains prepared speech audios/transcriptions)
The results will be released by subtask ranked by the metric CER (Character Error Rate), although WER (Word Error Rate) will also be reported. In particular, results for models participating in the Spontaneous subtask will be reported by accent.
The CORAA SER version 1.0 is composed of approximately 50 minutes of audio segments labeled in three classes: neutral, non-neutral female, and non-neutral male. While the neutral class represents audio segments with no well-defined emotional state, the non-neutral classes represent audio segments associated with one of the primary emotional states in the speaker's speech. This dataset was built from the C-ORAL-BRASIL I corpus. The available corpus consists of audio segments representing Brazilian Portuguese informal spontaneous speech. The non-neutral emotion class was labeled considering paralinguistic elements (laughing, crying, etc). Participants can use pre-trained models and external data, as long as the original C-ORAL-BRASIL corpus (or variants) is not used for model training.
In the SE&R 2022 SER TASK, participants must train their own models using acoustic audio features. A training set is released. We provide two baseline models. The first baseline uses a set of prosodic audio features for emotion classification. In the second baseline, we use the Wav2Vec model to extract features (i.e. audio embeddings) from the audio segments. These features can be used for training a speech emotion recognition classifier.
Each participant can submit up to three models. The Macro F1 Score measure will be used to evaluate the models.
