| contents | We revisit the INTERSPEECH 2009 Emotion Challenge -- the first ever speech emotion recognition (SER) challenge -- and evaluate a series of deep learning models that are representative of the major advances in SER research in the time since then. We start by training each model using a fixed set of hyperparameters, and further fine-tune the best-performing models of that initial setup with a grid search. Results are always reported on the official test set with a separate validation set only used for early stopping. Most models score below or close to the official baseline, while they marginally outperform the original challenge winners after hyperparameter tuning. Our work illustrates that, despite recent progress, FAU-AIBO remains a very challenging benchmark. An interesting corollary is that newer methods do not consistently outperform older ones, showing that progress towards `solving' SER is not necessarily monotonic. |
