| TITLE | A Neuromorphic Approach to Emotion Detection from Speech with Spiking Neural Networks |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Speech Emotion Recognition refers to the study of how we can recognize different emotional states through spoken words. Neuromorphic Computing relates to artificial neural networks designed to mimic biological neural circuits or function like biological brains. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) relate to artificial neural networks with discrete time representations of activity (i.e., the "spike" of an action potential). Spiking Convolutional Neural Network (SCNN) relates to SNNs which utilize convolutional layers to analyze spatially localized input patterns. Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) Neuron Model relates to a biologically inspired neural network model that uses LIF neurons. Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) relates to a type of audio feature extraction that represents frequency components of audio in mel-frequency space. Audio Feature Extraction relates to extracting specific types of features from audio to be used as input to machine learning algorithms. Spike-Based Learning relates to how neural networks learn from data when they use spikes to communicate. Temporal Signal Processing relates to signal processing techniques that take advantage of temporal relationships in signals. Event-Driven Computation relates to computing approaches where computation occurs only when events occur (e.g., spikes). Human–Computer Interaction relates to the design and engineering of interfaces that allow humans to interact with computers. Real-Time Emotion Detection relates to detecting emotional states in real-time from people's speech. Brain-Inspired Artificial Intelligence relates to AI systems that are designed to behave similarly to biological brains. |
