Abstract

With the incorporation of artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques, emotion detection, a multidisciplinary area rooted in psychology, cognitive science, and computer science, has seen major breakthroughs. This research goes into the historical progression of emotion recognition, from Paul Ekman’s founding work to today’s cutting-edge deep learning models. A comparison of emotion identification in text and voice modalities was performed, showing the distinct problems and benefits that each brings. The paper assesses several models, including classic machine learning techniques, LSTMs, hybrid models, and ensemble approaches, on both text and speech data through a series of experiments. The results show that, while both modalities have advantages, voice data frequently delivers greater emotional clues, even when using the same model architecture. The paper also highlights the use of multi-modal data in improving emotion identification accuracy. The integration of different modalities, the use of transformer topologies, and ethical issues in emotion detection are all possible future avenues. The main objective is to use technical advances to better comprehend and interpret human emotions, opening the door for more empathic and responsive artificial intelligence systems.
