Architecture of proposed method.

Abstract

Modern deep learning architectures are ordinarily performed on high-performance computing facilities due to the large size of the input features and the complexity of its model. This paper proposes traditional multilayer perceptrons (MLP) with deep layers and small input size to tackle that computation requirement limitation. The result shows that our proposed deep MLP outperformed modern deep learning architectures, i.e., LSTM and CNN, on the same number of layers and value of parameters. The deep MLP exhibited the highest performance on both speaker-dependent and speaker-independent scenarios on IEMOCAP and MSP-IMPROV corpus.

Software implementation

All source code used to generate the results and figures in the paper are in the code folder. The calculations and figure generation are by running each Python code. The data used in this study is provided in data and the sources for the manuscript text and figures are in latex. Results generated by the code are saved in results, if any. See the README.md files in each directory for a full description.

Getting the code

You can download a copy of all the files in this repository by cloning the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/bagustris/deep_mlp_ser.git

or download a zip archive.

Dependencies

You'll need a working Python environment to run the code. The recommended way to set up your environment is through the Anaconda Python distribution which provides the conda package manager. Anaconda can be installed in your user directory and does not interfere with the system Python installation. The required dependencies are specified in the file requirements.txt.

We use pip virtual environments to manage the project dependencies in isolation. Thus, you can install our dependencies without causing conflicts with your setup (even with different Python versions).

Run the following command in the repository folder (where environment.yml is located) to create a separate environment and install all required dependencies in it:

pip3.6 venv REPO_NAME

Reproducing the results

Before running any code you must activate the conda environment:

source activate REPO_NAME

To reproduce the result, run each related Python file.
