Contemporary stochastic feature selection algorithms for speech-based emotion recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study a class of Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs) is proposed to select the most relevant features for the problem of speech-based emotion recognition. The employed evolutionary algorithms are the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (or SPEA), the Preference-Inspired CoEvolutionary Algorithm with goal vectors (or PICEA), and the Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (or NSGA-II). Performances of the proposed algorithms were compared against conventional feature selection methods on a number of emotional speech corpora. The study revealed that for some of the corpora the proposed approach significantly outperforms the baseline feature selection methods up to 5.4% of relative difference.

متن کاملA Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...
