Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) emerged as best performing task. The were performed customised dataset developed combination RAVDESS, SAVEE, TESS datasets. Eight states emotions (happy, sad, angry, surprise, disgust, calm, fearful, neutral) detected. proposed attention-based achieved average test accuracy rate 90%, which substantial improvement over established models.
