Transfer Learning for Personality Perception via Speech Emotion Recognition
share
Holistic perception of affective attributes is an important human perceptual ability. However, this ability is far from being realized in current affective computing, as not all of the attributes are well studied and their interrelationships are poorly understood. In this work, we investigate the relationship between two affective attributes: personality and emotion, from a transfer learning perspective. Specifically, we transfer Transformer-based and wav2vec2-based emotion recognition models to perceive personality from speech across corpora. Compared with previous studies, our results show that transferring emotion recognition is effective for personality perception. Moreoever, this allows for better use and exploration of small personality corpora. We also provide novel findings on the relationship between personality and emotion that will aid future research on holistic affect recognition.
