# Exploring Multilingual Unseen Speaker Emotion Recognition: Leveraging Co-Attention Cues in Multitask Learning

This repository contains the BhavVani dataset introduced in the INTERSPEECH 2024 Paper :
[Exploring Multilingual Unseen Speaker Emotion Recognition: Leveraging Co-Attention Cues in Multitask Learning](https://www.isca-archive.org/interspeech_2024/goel24_interspeech.pdf)

## Overview
In our work, we propose the following contributions:
1. We introduce the `CAMuLeNet` architecture for generalizing emotion recognition architectures to unseen speaker distributions using co-attention on features and multi-task learning:

2. We introduce the <b>first-ever</b> Hindi SER dataset - `BhavVani`. The statistics for the same are shared below:
