Abstract: This research presents a music theory-inspired acoustic representation (hereafter, MTAR) to address improved speech emotion recognition. The recognition of emotion in speech and music is developed in parallel, yet a relatively limited understanding of MTAR for interpreting speech emotions is involved. In the present study, we use music theory to study representative acoustics associated with emotion in speech from vocal emotion expressions and auditory emotion perception domains. In experiments assessing the role and effectiveness of the proposed representation in classifying discrete emotion categories and predicting continuous emotion dimensions, it shows promising performance compared with extensively used features for emotion recognition based on the spectrogram, Melspectrogram, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, VGGish, and the large baseline feature sets of the INTERSPEECH challenges. This proposal opens up a novel research avenue in developing a computational acoustic representation of speech emotion via music theory.
