# Dataset Card for Dataset Name

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

The Audio, Speech, and Vision Processing Lab - Emotional Sound Database (ASVP - ESD)

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

Multimodal EmotionLines Dataset (MELD) has been created by enhancing and extending EmotionLines dataset. 
MELD contains the same dialogue instances available in EmotionLines, but it also encompasses audio and 
visual modality along with text. MELD has more than 1400 dialogues and 13000 utterances from Friends TV series. 
Multiple speakers participated in the dialogues. Each utterance in a dialogue has been labeled by any of these 
seven emotions -- Anger, Disgust, Sadness, Joy, Neutral, Surprise and Fear. MELD also has sentiment (positive, 
negative and neutral) annotation for each utterance.
This dataset is modified from https://huggingface.co/datasets/zrr1999/MELD_Text_Audio.
The audio is extracted from MELD mp4 files while the audio only has one channel with sample rate 16khz.
