Coupled Sparse Subspace Alignment-Based Domain Adaptation for Speech Emotion Recognition

IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems (TCSS) 2025

We propose a novel DA approach named coupled sparse subspace alignment (CSSA) for cross-domain SER. Specifically, CSSA first performs latent representation learning on the unlabeled target domain data, in which the latent representation matrix is then optimized into a pseudolabel matrix to provide emotional guidance. Meanwhile, it models the source and target domains separately by sparse regression, thereby learning both discriminative and domain-specific information. Subsequently, CSSA performs coupled subspace alignment to reduce the domain discrepancy, where the dual projection matrices are progressively aligned to enhance their similarity. Additionally, a graph Laplacian regularization is applied to the cross-domain data to capture the local geometric structure.

Common Discriminative Latent Space Learning for Cross-Domain Speech Emotion Recognition

IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems (TCSS) 2024

We present a novel common discriminative latent space learning (CDLSL) method for cross-domain SER. To be specific, we first obtain a common latent space by imposing a projection matrix on the cross-domain data. Meanwhile, we impose an uncorrelated constraint on the projection matrix to ensure that the features are representative and discriminative after dimension reduction. Then, we implement a graph regularization term on the latent representations of the samples to capture the local similarity information. Furthermore, to obtain a more discriminative common latent space, we introduce the label information by aligning the latent space with the relaxed label space, while mitigating the information loss for regression.
