Light-SERNet

This is the Tensorflow 2.x implementation of our paper "Light-SERNet: A lightweight fully convolutional neural network for speech emotion recognition", accepted in ICASSP 2022.

In this paper, we propose an efficient and lightweight fully convolutional neural network(FCNN) for speech emotion recognition in systems with limited hardware resources. In the proposed FCNN model, various feature maps are extracted via three parallel paths with different filter sizes. This helps deep convolution blocks to extract high-level features, while ensuring sufficient separability. The extracted features are used to classify the emotion of the input speech segment. While our model has a smaller size than that of the state-of-the-art models, it achieves a higher performance on the IEMOCAP and EMO-DB datasets.

Demo

Demo on EMO-DB dataset:

Run

1. Clone Repository

$ git clone https://github.com/AryaAftab/LIGHT-SERNET.git
$ cd LIGHT-SERNET/

2. Requirements

Tensorflow >= 2.3.0
Numpy >= 1.19.2
Tqdm >= 4.50.2
Matplotlib> = 3.3.1
Scikit-learn >= 0.23.2

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Data:

Download EMO-DB and IEMOCAP(requires permission to access) datasets
extract them in data folder

Note: For using IEMOCAP dataset, please follow issue #3.

4. Set hyperparameters and training config :

You only need to change the constants in the hyperparameters.py to set the hyperparameters and the training config.

5. Strat training:

Use the following code to train the model on the desired dataset, cost function, and input length(second).

Note 1: The input is automatically cut or padded to the desired size and stored in the data folder.
Note 2: The best model are saved in the model folder.
Note 3: The results for the confusion matrix are saved in the result folder.

$ python train.py -dn {dataset_name} \
                  -id {input durations} \
                  -at {audio_type} \
                  -ln {cost function name} \
                  -v {verbose for training bar} \
                  -it {type of input(mfcc, spectrogram, mel_spectrogram)} \
                  -c {type of cache(disk, ram, None)} \
                  -m {fuse mfcc feature extractor in exported tflite model}

Example:

EMO-DB Dataset:

python train.py -dn "EMO-DB" \
                -id 3 \
                -at "all" \
                -ln "focal" \
                -v 1 \
                -it "mfcc" \
                -c "disk" \
                -m false

IEMOCAP Dataset:

python train.py -dn "IEMOCAP" \
                -id 7 \
                -at "impro" \
                -ln "cross_entropy" \
                -v 1 \
                -it "mfcc" \
                -c "disk" \
                -m false

Note : For all experiments just run run.sh

sh run.sh

Fusing MFCC Extractor(New Feature)

To run the model independently and without the need for the Tensorflow library, the MFCC feature extractor was added as a single layer to the beginning of the model. Then, The trained model was exported as a single file in the TensorFlow Lite format. The input of this model is raw sound in the form of a vector (1, sample_rate * input_duration). To train with fusing feature:

python train.py -dn "EMO-DB" \
                -id 3 \
                -m True

Note 1: The best model are saved in the model folder.
Note 2: To run tflite model you can just use tflite_runtime library. For using tflite_runtime library in this project, you need to build it with TF OP support(Flex delegate). you can learn how to built Tenorflow Lite from source with this flag here.
Note 3: To run tflite model as a real-time application another repository will be completed soon.
