What is RAVDESS Dataset?

The Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song Dataset (Ravdees) consists of 7356 files database (total size: 24.8 GB). Two lexically-matched phrases are vocalized in a neutral North American dialect by 24 professional actors (12 female, 12 male). There are calm, happy, sad, angry, terrified, surprised, and disgusted expressions in speech, and there are calm, happy, sad, angry, and frightening expressions in music.

How to use RAVDESS Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on the RAVDESS dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Deep Lake built-in PyTorch one-line dataloader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)
Train a model on the RAVDESS dataset with TensorFlow in Python
				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()
