The ESMBS (Emotional Speech of Mandarin and Burmese Speakers) dataset was collected for emotion recognition research. It consists of speech samples from 12 non-professional actors (six Mandarin and six Burmese speakers, with an equal gender distribution). Each speaker recorded ten utterances per emotion across six emotions: anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, and surprise, resulting in a total of 720 emotional utterances.

Key details:

  • Audio Format: PCM WAVE, 16-bit, 22,050 Hz
  • Average Sample Length: 1.50 seconds
  • Emotion Evaluation: Four listeners, who did not understand the languages, judged the emotional content based on vocal characteristics alone.
  • Human Classification Accuracy: 65.7% overall (68.3% for Burmese, 63.1% for Mandarin), aligning with previous cross-cultural emotion recognition studies (55%-70% accuracy).
