Conception of speech emotion recognition methods: a review

In recent years, speech emotion recognition (SER) has emerged as a pivotal tool for understanding and enhancing human-computer interaction (HCI), thus garnering significant attention from researchers due to its diverse range of applications. However, SER systems encounter numerous challenges, particularly concerning the selection of appropriate features and classifiers for emotion recognition. This paper provides a concise survey of the field of speech emotion recognition, elucidating its classification algorithms and various feature extraction techniques across multiple languages. Additionally, it explores the limitations and weaknesses inherent in speech emotion recognition systems. Furthermore, the paper endeavors to categorize recent research endeavors in Arabic speech emotion recognition, employing diverse modeling approaches and extraction methods.
