Infant Cry Emotion Recognition Using Improved ECAPA-TDNN with Multiscale Feature Fusion and Attention Enhancement
Infant cry emotion recognition is crucial for parenting and medical applications. It faces many challenges, such as subtle emotional variations, noise interference, and limited data. The existing methods lack the ability to effectively integrate multi-scale features and temporal-frequency relationships. In this study, we propose a method for infant cry emotion recognition using an improved Emphasized Channel Attention, Propagation and Aggregation in Time Delay Neural Network (ECAPA-TDNN) with b…
