This dataset addresses the challenge of limited vocal recordings available in secondary datasets, particularly those that predominantly feature foreign accents and contexts. To enhance the accuracy of our solution tailored for Sri Lankans, we employed primary data-gathering methods.
The dataset comprises vocal recordings from a sample population of youth. Participants were instructed to read three specific sentences designed to capture a range of vocal tones:
The Facial Expression Dataset (Sri Lankan) is a culturally specific dataset created to enhance the accuracy of emotion recognition models in Sri Lankan contexts. Existing datasets, often based on foreign samples, fail to account for cultural differences in facial expressions, affecting model performance. This dataset bridges that gap, using high-quality data sourced from over 100 video clips of professional Sri Lankan actors to ensure expressive and clear facial imagery.
