       abstract = {The ICML Expressive Vocalizations (ExVo) Multi-task challenge 2022, focuses on understanding the emotional facets of the non-linguistic vocalizations (vocal bursts (VB)). The objective of this challenge is to predict emotional intensities for VB, being a multi-task challenge it also requires to predict speakers' age and native-country. For this challenge we study and compare two distinct embedding spaces namely, self-supervised learning (SSL) based embeddings and task-specific supervised learning based embeddings. Towards that, we investigate feature representations obtained from several pre-trained SSL neural networks and task-specific supervised classification neural networks. Our studies show that the best performance is obtained with an hybrid approach, where predictions derived via both SSL and task-specific supervised learning are used. Our best system on test-set surpass the ComPARE baseline (harmonic-mean of all sub-task scores i.e., S_MLT) by a relative 13\% margin.},
