MERaLiON SER v1

MERaLiON SER v1 is a 309M-parameter speech classification model. It adapts Whisper-Medium acoustic features to estimate emotion categories and continuous affect values. It is a trained classifier, not a transcription model.

A trained speech classifier

The model uses LoRA adapters on Whisper-Medium's encoder attention projections. A modified ECAPA-TDNN and attention pooling feed two prediction heads. The Whisper decoder is unused. This architecture estimates acoustic attributes without generating a transcript.MERaLiON SER v1 official model card

Weight download and hosted analysis

The analysis application explicitly names SER v1. The OpenAPI specification names MERaLiON-SER for its combined emotion-and-gender endpoint. This establishes a hosted route, but does not prove that every service output comes from one unchanged weight file.MERaLiON speech analysis applicationMERaLiON public OpenAPI specification

Treat outputs as estimates

Practical guidance. Review errors by language and emotion class. A high overall score can hide weak performance on rare labels. Use the output as an uncertain acoustic estimate, not proof of a person's feelings. The API terms reject using such estimates as the main basis for consequential decisions.MERaLiON API terms of use
