Coverage

English, 46 of the 48 MEAD speakers (two excluded for incomplete emotion-level coverage), six emotions (neutral, angry, happy, sad, surprised, fear) at three intensity levels, split speaker-disjointly 36 / 4 / 6 for train / val / test. Disgust and contempt are excluded. Transcripts were content-matched to MEAD's canonical sentence list and verified with Whisper-large; alignments come from the Montreal Forced Aligner.
