Abstract

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 both multi-scale feature fusion and attention enhancement. Experiments on a public dataset show that the proposed method achieves accuracy of 82.20%, number of parameters of 1.43 MB and FLOPs of 0.32 Giga. Moreover, our method has advantage over the baseline methods in terms of accuracy. The code is at https://github.com/kkpretend/IETMA.
