In 2023, we developed a sophisticated Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) system using Python and machine learning. Our goal was to accurately identify emotions in speech, and we achieved this with a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) model.

We trained our model using the RAVDESS and TESS datasets, along with augmented datasets to enhance performance. After extensive experimentation and tuning, our MLP model achieved an 80% accuracy rate on the test dataset. Achieving an 80% accuracy rate was a significant milestone. Future improvements could include exploring advanced neural network architectures and integrating more diverse datasets to enhance the model's generalizability.

Developing this SER system was a rewarding experience, and we look forward to further advancements in this field.
