Abstract

Systems and methods enrich speech to text communications between users in speech chat sessions using a speech emotion recognition model to convert observed emotions in speech samples to enrich text with visual emotion content. The method may include generating a data set of speech samples with labels of a plurality of emotion classes, selecting a set of acoustic features from each of the emotion classes, generating a machine learning (ML) model based on the acoustic features and data set, applying the set of rules based on the selected set of acoustic features and data set, computing a number of rules that have been satisfied, and presenting the enriched text in speech-to-text communications between users in the chat session for visual notice of an observed emotion in the speech sample.
