轻量级模型融合频谱特征，高效识别语音情感

Speech is a natural means of conveying emotions, making it an effective method for understanding and representing human feelings. Reliable speech emotion recognition (SER) is central to applications in human-computer interaction, healthcare, education, and customer service. However, most SER methods depend on heavy backbone models or hand-crafted features that fail to balance accuracy and efficiency, particularly for low-resource languages like Bangla. In this work, we present SpectroFusion-ViT, a lightweight SER framework built utilizing EfficientViT-b0, a compact Vision Transformer architecture equipped with self-attention to capture long-range temporal and spectral patterns. The model contains only 2.04M parameters and requires 0.1 GFLOPs, enabling deployment in resource-constrained settings without compromising accuracy. Our pipeline first performs preprocessing and augmentation on raw audio, then extracts Chroma and Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) features. These representations are fused into a complementary time-frequency descriptor that preserves both fine-grained spectral detail and broader harmonic structure. Using transfer learning, EfficientViT-b0 is fine-tuned for multi-class emotion classification. We evaluate the system on two benchmark Bangla emotional speech datasets, SUBESCO and BanglaSER, which vary in speaker diversity, recording conditions, and acoustic characteristics. The proposed approach achieves 92.56% accuracy on SUBESCO and 82.19% on BanglaSER, surpassing existing state-of-the-art methods. These findings demonstrate that lightweight transformer architectures can deliver robust SER performance while remaining computationally efficient for real-world deployment.
