Towards Affect Recognition: an Ica Approach

چکیده

The speech signal can be thought of as multi-spatial signal where each signal subspace corresponds to different attributes that affect the speech. Language, accent, speaker, emotions are few potential sub-spaces. Each space can further be projected into n-dimensions, as there are different languages, accents and emotions, which combine together to make their sub-space. In this paper, we investigate detecting emotions in speech by projecting an emotional sub-space into a 2-dimensional space. The basis of this space is neutral and stress emotions. A previously formulated stress dependent TEO based feature is employed. To identify the weights of each component we use independent component analysis. This approach was used to exploit the non-Gaussianity of the data. Evaluations are conducted on the SOQ stress database using ICA sub-space decomposition. The results here suggest that dimensionality reduction offers a promising new approach to TEO based stress classification.

Application of Ica Technique to Pca Based Radar Target Recognition

In this paper, the ICA (independent component analysis) technique is applied to PCA (principal component analysis) based radar target recognition. The goal is to identify the similarity between the unknown and known targets. The RCS (radar cross section) signals are collected and then processed to serve as the features for target recognition. Initially, the RCS data from targets are collected b...

Facial Expression Recognition by ICA with Selective Prior

Permutation ambiguity of the classical ICA may cause problems in feature extraction for pattern classification. To solve that, we include a selective prior for de-mixing coefficients into the classical ICA. Since the prior is constructed upon the classification information from the training data, we refer to the proposed ICA model with a selective prior as a supervised ICA. We formulate the lea...

Spectral Analysis of Speech: A New Technique

ICA which is generally used for blind source separation problem has been tested for feature extraction in Speech recognition system to replace the phoneme based approach of MFCC. Applying the Cepstral coefficients generated to ICA as preprocessing has developed a new signal processing approach. This gives much better results against MFCC and ICA separately, both for word and speaker recognition...
