Abstract: In this work, we study the use of attention mechanisms to enhance the performance of the state-of-the-art deep learning model in Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). We introduce a new Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based neural attention model which is able to take into account the temporal information in speech during the computation of the attention vector. The proposed LSTM-based model is evaluated on the IEMOCAP dataset using a 5-fold cross-validation scheme and achieved 68.8% weighted accuracy on 4 classes, which outperforms other state-of-the-art models.
