# Model for Dimensional Speech Emotion Recognition based on Wav2vec 2.0

Please note that this model is for research purpose only. A commercial license for a model that has been trained on much more data can be acquired with [audEERING](https://www.audeering.com/products/devaice/).
The model expects a raw audio signal as input and outputs predictions for arousal, dominance and valence in a range of approximately 0...1. In addition, it also provides the pooled states of the last transformer layer. The model was created by fine-tuning [
Wav2Vec2-Large-Robust](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-robust) on [MSP-Podcast](https://ecs.utdallas.edu/research/researchlabs/msp-lab/MSP-Podcast.html) (v1.7). The model was pruned from 24 to 12 transformer layers before fine-tuning. An [ONNX](https://onnx.ai/") export of the model is available from [doi:10.5281/zenodo.6221127](https://zenodo.org/record/6221127). Further details are given in the associated [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07378) and [tutorial](https://github.com/audeering/w2v2-how-to).
