Extraction of speech Emotion Features Using MLP Classifier
Abstract: Speech Emotion Recognition is a thriving research topic. Speech emotion recognition use MLP classifier to categorize the emotions from the speech. This Speech is also used as the medium, through which one can express their feelings and mind state in human to machine interaction. The case is very easy where two humans communicate along with their emotions as by nature, they can recognize each other’s emotions. But for computer, if …
