ExHuBERT: Enhancing HuBERT Through Block Extension and Fine-Tuning on 37 Emotion Datasets
Authors: Shahin Amiriparian, Filip Packań, Maurice Gerczuk, Björn W. Schuller
Fine-tuned and backbone extended HuBERT Large on EmoSet++, comprising 37 datasets, totaling 150,907 samples and spanning a cumulative duration of 119.5 hours. The model is expecting a 3 second long raw waveform resampled to 16 kHz. The original 6 Ouput classes are combinations of low/high arousal and negative/neutral/positive valence. Further details are available in the corresponding paper.
EmoSet++ subsets used for fine-tuning the model:
| ABC [1] | AD [2] | BES [3] | CASIA [4] | CVE [5] |
| Crema-D [6] | DES [7] | DEMoS [8] | EA-ACT [9] | EA-BMW [9] |
| EA-WSJ [9] | EMO-DB [10] | EmoFilm [11] | EmotiW-2014 [12] | EMOVO [13] |
| eNTERFACE [14] | ESD [15] | EU-EmoSS [16] | EU-EV [17] | FAU Aibo [18] |
| GEMEP [19] | GVESS [20] | IEMOCAP [21] | MES [3] | MESD [22] |
| MELD [23] | PPMMK [2] | RAVDESS [24] | SAVEE [25] | ShEMO [26] |

Example of How to Train the Model for Transfer Learning
The datasets used for showcasing are EmoDB and IEMOCAP from the HuggingFace Hub. As noted above, the model has seen both datasets before.
