In this paper, the reconstruction of speech samples removes the added noise. Acoustic features extracted from the reconstructed samples are selected to build an optimal feature subset with better emotional recognizability. A multiple-kernel （MK） support vector machine （SVM） classifier solved by semi-definite programming （SDP） is adopted in SER procedure. The proposed method in this paper is demonstrated on Berlin Database of Emotional Speech. Recognition accuracies of the original, noisy, and reconstructed samples classified by both single-kernel （SK） and MK classifiers are compared and analyzed. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and robust when noise exists.展开更多
