Project description:Speech emotion recognition (SER) plays an important role in global business today to improve service efficiency. In the literature of SER, many techniques have been using deep learning to extract and learn features. Recently, we have proposed end-to-end learning for a deep residual local feature learning block (DeepResLFLB). The advantages of end-to-end learning are low engineering effort and less hyperparameter tuning. Nevertheless, this learning method is easily to fall into an overfitting problem. Therefore, this paper described the concept of the "verify-to-classify" framework to apply for learning vectors, extracted from feature spaces of emotional information. This framework consists of two important portions: speech emotion learning and recognition. In speech emotion learning, consisting of two steps: speech emotion verification enrolled training and prediction, the residual learning (ResNet) with squeeze-excitation (SE) block was used as a core component of both steps to extract emotional state vectors and build an emotion model by the speech emotion verification enrolled training. Then the in-domain pre-trained weights of the emotion trained model are transferred to the prediction step. As a result of the speech emotion learning, the accepted model-validated by EER-is transferred to the speech emotion recognition in terms of out-domain pre-trained weights, which are ready for classification using a classical ML method. In this manner, a suitable loss function is important to work with emotional vectors. Here, two loss functions were proposed: angular prototypical and softmax with angular prototypical losses. Based on two publicly available datasets: Emo-DB and RAVDESS, both with high- and low-quality environments. The experimental results show that our proposed method can significantly improve generalized performance and explainable emotion results, when evaluated by standard metrics: EER, accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.

Project description:Emotion recognition from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals requires accurate and efficient signal processing and feature extraction. Deep learning technology has enabled the automatic extraction of raw EEG signal features that contribute to classifying emotions more accurately. Despite such advances, classification of emotions from EEG signals, especially recorded during recalling specific memories or imagining emotional situations has not yet been investigated. In addition, high-density EEG signal classification using deep neural networks faces challenges, such as high computational complexity, redundant channels, and low accuracy. To address these problems, we evaluate the effects of using a simple channel selection method for classifying self-induced emotions based on deep learning. The experiments demonstrate that selecting key channels based on signal statistics can reduce the computational complexity by 89% without decreasing the classification accuracy. The channel selection method with the highest accuracy was the kurtosis-based method, which achieved accuracies of 79.03% and 79.36% for the valence and arousal scales, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed framework outperforms conventional methods, even though it uses fewer channels. Our proposed method can be beneficial for the effective use of EEG signals in practical applications.

Project description:Human feelings are fundamental to perceive the conduct and state of mind of an individual. A healthy emotional state is one significant highlight to improve personal satisfaction. On the other hand, bad emotional health can prompt social or psychological well-being issues. Recognizing or detecting feelings in online health care data gives important and helpful information regarding the emotional state of patients. To recognize or detection of patient's emotion against a specific disease using text from online sources is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a method for the automatic detection of patient's emotions in healthcare data using supervised machine learning approaches. For this purpose, we created a new dataset named EmoHD, comprising of 4,202 text samples against eight disease classes and six emotion classes, gathered from different online resources. We used six different supervised machine learning models based on different feature engineering techniques. We also performed a detailed comparison of the chosen six machine learning algorithms using different feature vectors on our dataset. We achieved the highest 87% accuracy using MultiLayer Perceptron as compared to other state of the art models. Moreover, we use the emotional guidance scale to show that there is a link between negative emotion and psychological health issues. Our proposed work will be helpful to automatically detect a patient's emotion during disease and to avoid extreme acts like suicide, mental disorders, or psychological health issues.

Project description:Issues with sentiment analysis in social media include neglecting the long-distance semantic link of emotional features, failing to capture the feature words with emotional hue effectively, and depending excessively on manual annotation. This research provides a user emotion recognition model to achieve the emotional analysis of microblog public opinion events. Three types of inspiring text, "joy," "anger," and "sadness," are obtained by the data collecting and data preprocessing of micro-blog public opinion event comment text. Then, an algorithm using the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) model, emotion dictionary, and manual annotation is created to extract emotional feature words. The captured motivational text is converted into a word vector using Word2vec. After gathering the long-distance semantic data with bidirectional long short-term memories (BiLSTM) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) extract the text's key characteristics to finish the emotion categorization. The test results demonstrate an average increase in F1 value of 3.66 percent for six machine learning models and an average increase in F1 value of 1.84 percent for seven deep learning models. The suggested model performs better at identifying the emotions of social media users than the current machine learning and deep learning methods.

Project description:Internet- and mobile-based approaches have become increasingly significant to psychological research in the field of bipolar disorders. While research suggests that emotional aspects of bipolar disorders are substantially related to the social and global functioning or the suicidality of patients, these aspects have so far not sufficiently been considered within the context of mobile-based disease management approaches. As a multiprofessional research team, we have developed a new and emotion-sensitive assistance system, which we have adapted to the needs of patients with bipolar disorder. Next to the analysis of self-assessments, third-party assessments, and sensor data, the new assistance system analyzes audio and video data of these patients regarding their emotional content or the presence of emotional cues. In this viewpoint, we describe the theoretical and technological basis of our emotion-sensitive approach and do not present empirical data or a proof of concept. To our knowledge, the new assistance system incorporates the first mobile-based approach to analyze emotional expressions of patients with bipolar disorder. As a next step, the validity and feasibility of our emotion-sensitive approach must be evaluated. In the future, it might benefit diagnostic, prognostic, or even therapeutic purposes and complement existing systems with the help of new and intuitive interaction models.

Project description:BackgroundPost-database search is a key procedure in peptide identification with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) strategies for refining peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) generated by database search engines. Although many statistical and machine learning-based methods have been developed to improve the accuracy of peptide identification, the challenge remains on large-scale datasets and datasets with a distribution of unbalanced PSMs. A more efficient learning strategy is required for improving the accuracy of peptide identification on challenging datasets. While complex learning models have larger power of classification, they may cause overfitting problems and introduce computational complexity on large-scale datasets. Kernel methods map data from the sample space to high dimensional spaces where data relationships can be simplified for modeling.ResultsIn order to tackle the computational challenge of using the kernel-based learning model for practical peptide identification problems, we present an online learning algorithm, OLCS-Ranker, which iteratively feeds only one training sample into the learning model at each round, and, as a result, the memory requirement for computation is significantly reduced. Meanwhile, we propose a cost-sensitive learning model for OLCS-Ranker by using a larger loss of decoy PSMs than that of target PSMs in the loss function.ConclusionsThe new model can reduce its false discovery rate on datasets with a distribution of unbalanced PSMs. Experimental studies show that OLCS-Ranker outperforms other methods in terms of accuracy and stability, especially on datasets with a distribution of unbalanced PSMs. Furthermore, OLCS-Ranker is 15-85 times faster than CRanker.

Project description:Recently, modern smartphones equipped with a variety of embedded-sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, have been used as an alternative platform for human activity recognition (HAR), since they are cost-effective, unobtrusive and they facilitate real-time applications. However, the majority of the related works have proposed a position-dependent HAR, i.e., the target subject has to fix the smartphone in a pre-defined position. Few studies have tackled the problem of position-independent HAR. They have tackled the problem either using handcrafted features that are less influenced by the position of the smartphone or by building a position-aware HAR. The performance of these studies still needs more improvement to produce a reliable smartphone-based HAR. Thus, in this paper, we propose a deep convolution neural network model that provides a robust position-independent HAR system. We build and evaluate the performance of the proposed model using the RealWorld HAR public dataset. We find that our deep learning proposed model increases the overall performance compared to the state-of-the-art traditional machine learning method from 84% to 88% for position-independent HAR. In addition, the position detection performance of our model improves superiorly from 89% to 98%. Finally, the recognition time of the proposed model is evaluated in order to validate the applicability of the model for real-time applications.

Project description:Automatic emotion recognition is one of the most challenging tasks. To detect emotion from nonstationary EEG signals, a sophisticated learning algorithm that can represent high-level abstraction is required. This study proposes the utilization of a deep learning network (DLN) to discover unknown feature correlation between input signals that is crucial for the learning task. The DLN is implemented with a stacked autoencoder (SAE) using hierarchical feature learning approach. Input features of the network are power spectral densities of 32-channel EEG signals from 32 subjects. To alleviate overfitting problem, principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to extract the most important components of initial input features. Furthermore, covariate shift adaptation of the principal components is implemented to minimize the nonstationary effect of EEG signals. Experimental results show that the DLN is capable of classifying three different levels of valence and arousal with accuracy of 49.52% and 46.03%, respectively. Principal component based covariate shift adaptation enhances the respective classification accuracy by 5.55% and 6.53%. Moreover, DLN provides better performance compared to SVM and naive Bayes classifiers.

Project description:In the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), speech emotion recognition technology plays an important role. Facing a small number of speech emotion data, a novel speech emotion recognition method based on feature construction and ensemble learning is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the acoustic features are extracted from the speech signal and combined to form different original feature sets. Secondly, based on Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) and Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) method, a novel feature selection method named L-SFS is proposed. And then, the softmax regression model is used to learn automatically the weights of the four single weak learners including Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and LightGBM. Lastly, based on the learned automatically weights and the weighted average probability voting strategy, an ensemble classification model named Sklex is constructed, which integrates the above four single weak learners. In conclusion, the method reflects the effectiveness of feature construction and the superiority and stability of ensemble learning, and gets good speech emotion recognition accuracy.

Project description:Due to their ability to recognize complex patterns, neural networks can drive a paradigm shift in the analysis of materials science data. Here, we introduce ARISE, a crystal-structure identification method based on Bayesian deep learning. As a major step forward, ARISE is robust to structural noise and can treat more than 100 crystal structures, a number that can be extended on demand. While being trained on ideal structures only, ARISE correctly characterizes strongly perturbed single- and polycrystalline systems, from both synthetic and experimental resources. The probabilistic nature of the Bayesian-deep-learning model allows to obtain principled uncertainty estimates, which are found to be correlated with crystalline order of metallic nanoparticles in electron tomography experiments. Applying unsupervised learning to the internal neural-network representations reveals grain boundaries and (unapparent) structural regions sharing easily interpretable geometrical properties. This work enables the hitherto hindered analysis of noisy atomic structural data from computations or experiments.
