Traffic safety challenges arising from extreme driver emotions highlight the urgent need for reliable emotion recognition systems.
Traditional deep learning approaches in speech emotion recognition suffer from overfitting and poorly calibrated confidence estimates.
A framework integrating Conformal Prediction (CP) and Risk Control is proposed, using Mel-spectrogram features processed through a pre-trained convolutional neural network.
The Risk Control framework enables task-specific adaptation through customizable loss functions, dynamically adjusting prediction set sizes while maintaining coverage guarantees.
