报告摘要：
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) enhances human-computer interactions by making technology more empathetic. This presentation explores both classical methods and modern deep learning techniques in SER, highlighting their potential applications in physics, particularly in the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) within the audio frequency band.We review classic SER methods like Hidden Markov Models and Gaussian Mixture Models, and then focus on advanced deep learning methods such as self-attention mechanisms and multiscale area attention. These methods are analogous to techniques used in analyzing GW signals, which also require precise detection and classification of subtle patterns within noisy data.Data augmentation techniques such as noise injection and time stretching, used to improve SER model robustness, can similarly enhance the detection and analysis of GW signals. Furthermore, our confidence-based multimodal fusion approach, which integrates speech and text emotion recognition models, demonstrates significant performance improvements that could be applied to multi-modal GW detection systems.
