Enhancing Speech Emotion Recognition via Fine-Tuning Pre-Trained Models and Hyper-Parameter Optimisation

2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We propose a workflow for speech emotion recognition (SER) that combines pre-trained representations with automated hyperparameter optimisation (HPO). Using SpeechBrain wav2vec2-base model fine-tuned on IEMOCAP as the encoder, we compare two HPO strategies, Gaussian Process …
