A novel approach to emotion classification is presented, utilizing a combination of text and speech data to train machine learning algorithms. Building upon traditional methods focused solely on textual information, the authors propose deep learning architectures enhanced with attention mechanisms to better capture the nuances of human emotions. The performance of various architectures is evaluated, including rigorous error analyses, demonstrating that those trained on both text and speech data outperform single-modal approaches. Notably, the proposed bimodal architecture achieves state-of-the-art results in emotion classification.

Emotion recognition is a complex task that involves analyzing various cues like words, tone, pitch, speed, and facial expressions. Currently, most AI-based systems rely on text data to classify emotions. However, this paper shows that using both text and speech data can lead to better performance. The authors designed new deep learning models that focus on specific parts of the input (like attention mechanisms) and tested them on large datasets. Their results show that these models can accurately identify emotions, even surpassing existing systems.
