From Sound Waves to Mental Wellness: Building a Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) System with CNN and FastAPI

This tutorial demonstrates building a Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) system called a 'Depression Prevention Lab' that analyzes vocal audio to detect emotional distress. It uses MFCC feature extraction from audio files, a 1D CNN for emotion classification, and FastAPI for real-time API serving, forming a pipeline from raw audio input to emotional health monitoring and intervention.
