| Abstract: | With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), research in the field of emotion detection and recognition has been actively conducted worldwide in modern society. Among this research, speech emotion recognition has gained increasing importance in various areas of application such as personalized services, enhanced security, and the medical field. However, subjective emotional expressions in voice data can be perceived differently by individuals, and issues such as data imbalance and limited datasets fail to provide the diverse situations necessary for model training, thus limiting performance. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a novel data augmentation technique using Conditional-DCGAN, which combines CGAN and DCGAN. This study analyzes the temporal signal changes using Mel-spectrograms extracted from the Emo-DB dataset and applies a loss function calculation method borrowed from reinforcement learning to generate data that accurately reflects emotional characteristics. To validate the proposed method, experiments were conducted using a model combining CNN and Bi-LSTM. The results, including augmented data, achieved significant performance improvements, reaching WA 91.46% and UAR 91.61%, compared to using only the original data (WA 79.31%, UAR 78.16%). These results outperform similar previous studies, such as those reporting WA 84.49% and UAR 83.33%, demonstrating the positive effects of the proposed data augmentation technique. This study presents a new data augmentation method that enables effective learning even in situations with limited data, offering a progressive direction for research in speech emotion recognition.
