Speech Emotion Recognition using Attention-based LSTM-Network with Residual Connection 文章

arXiv:2606.03359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech emotion recognition is an important component of modern human-computer interaction systems. However, many state-of-the-art approaches rely on large pretrained models with high computational and memory requirements, limiting their applicability. This paper proposes ResLSTM-SA, a lightweight architecture that integrates residual connections with soft attention within an LSTM-based framework. Evaluated on the RAVDESS dataset under strict speaker-independent partitioning, the proposed model outperforms conventional attention-based LSTM baselines and several previously reported CNN- and hybrid CNN-LSTM architectures in terms of unweighted average recall (UAR). The best-performing variant (ResLSTM-SA-h64) achieves a maximum UAR of 0.6517 with only 46.
