contents Despite notable progress, speech emotion recognition (SER) remains challenging due to the intricate and ambiguous nature of speech emotion, particularly in wild world. While current studies primarily focus on recognition and generalization abilities, our research pioneers an investigation into the reliability of SER methods in the presence of semantic data shifts and explores how to exert fine-grained control over various attributes inherent in speech signals to enhance speech emotion modeling. In this paper, we first introduce MSAC-SERNet, a novel unified SER framework capable of simultaneously handling both single-corpus and cross-corpus SER. Specifically, concentrating exclusively on the speech emotion attribute, a novel CNN-based SER model is presented to extract discriminative emotional representations, guided by additive margin softmax loss. Considering information overlap between various speech attributes, we propose a novel learning paradigm based on correlations of different speech attributes, termed Multiple Speech Attribute Control (MSAC), which empowers the proposed SER model to simultaneously capture fine-grained emotion-related features while mitigating the negative impact of emotion-agnostic representations. Furthermore, we make a first attempt to examine the reliability of the MSAC-SERNet framework using out-of-distribution detection methods. Experiments on both single-corpus and cross-corpus SER scenarios indicate that MSAC-SERNet not only consistently outperforms the baseline in all aspects, but achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art SER approaches.
