Annoyance-type speech emotion detection in working environment

In order to recognize people＇s annoyance emotions in the working environment and evaluate emotional well- being, emotional speech in a work environment is induced to obtain adequate samples of emotional speech, and a Mandarin database with two thousands samples is built. In searching for annoyance-type emotion features, the prosodic feature and the voice quality feature parameters of the emotional statements are extracted first. Then an improved back propagation （BP） neural network based on the shuffled frog leaping algorithm （SFLA） is proposed to recognize the emotion. The recognition capability of the BP, radical basis function （RBF） and the SFLA neural networks are compared experimentally. The results show that the recognition ratio of the SFLA neural network is 4. 7% better than that of the BP neural network and 4. 3% better than that of the RBF neural network. The experimental results demonstrate that the random initial data trained by the SFLA can optimize the connection weights and thresholds of the neural network, speed up the convergence and improve the recognition rate.

Suicide Ideation Detection of Covid Patients Using Machine Learning Algorithm

During Covid pandemic,many individuals are suffering from suicidal ideation in the world.Social distancing and quarantining,affects the patient emotionally.Affective computing is the study of recognizing human feelings and emotions.This technology can be used effectively during pandemic for facial expression recognition which automatically extracts the features from the human face.Monitoring system plays a very important role to detect the patient condition and to recognize the patterns of expression from the safest distance.In this paper,a new method is proposed for emotion recognition and suicide ideation detection in COVID patients.This helps to alert the nurse,when patient emotion is fear,cry or sad.The research presented in this paper has introduced Image Processing technology for emotional analysis of patients using Machine learning algorithm.The proposed Convolution Neural Networks(CNN)architecture with DnCNN preprocessing enhances the performance of recognition.The system can analyze the mood of patients either in real time or in the form of video files from CCTV cameras.The proposed method accuracy is more when compared to other methods.It detects the chances of suicide attempt based on stress level and emotional recognition.

Neural Emotion Detection via Personal Attributes

There has been a recent line of work to automatically detect the emotions of posts in social media.In literature,studies treat posts independently and detect their emotions separately.Different from previous studies,we explore the dependence among relevant posts via authors'backgrounds,since the authors with similar backgrounds,e.g.,"gender","location",tend to express similar emotions.However,personal attributes are not easy to obtain in most social media websites.Accordingly,we propose two approaches to determine personal attributes and capture personal attributes between different posts for emotion detection:the Joint Model with Personal Attention Mechanism(JPA)model is used to detect emotion and personal attributes jointly,and capture the attributes-aware words to connect similar people;the Neural Personal Discrimination(NPD)model is employed to determine the personal attributes from posts and connect the relevant posts with similar attributes for emotion detection.Experimental results show the usefulness of personal attributes in emotion detection,and the effectiveness of the proposed JPA and NPD approaches in capturing personal attributes over the state-of-the-art statistic and neural models.

BERT-CNN: A Deep Learning Model for Detecting Emotions from Text

Due to the widespread usage of social media in our recent daily lifestyles,sentiment analysis becomes an important field in pattern recognition and Natural Language Processing(NLP).In this field,users’feedback data on a specific issue are evaluated and analyzed.Detecting emotions within the text is therefore considered one of the important challenges of the current NLP research.Emotions have been widely studied in psychology and behavioral science as they are an integral part of the human nature.Emotions describe a state of mind of distinct behaviors,feelings,thoughts and experiences.The main objective of this paper is to propose a new model named BERT-CNN to detect emotions from text.This model is formed by a combination of the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformer(BERT)and the Convolutional Neural networks(CNN)for textual classification.This model embraces the BERT to train the word semantic representation language model.According to the word context,the semantic vector is dynamically generated and then placed into the CNN to predict the output.Results of a comparative study proved that the BERT-CNN model overcomes the state-of-art baseline performance produced by different models in the literature using the semeval 2019 task3 dataset and ISEAR datasets.The BERTCNN model achieves an accuracy of 94.7%and an F1-score of 94%for semeval2019 task3 dataset and an accuracy of 75.8%and an F1-score of 76%for ISEAR dataset.

An Ensemble Approach for Emotion Cause Detection with Event Extraction and Multi-Kernel SVMs

In this paper, we present a new challenging task for emotion analysis, namely emotion cause extraction.In this task, we focus on the detection of emotion cause a.k.a the reason or the stimulant of an emotion, rather than the regular emotion classification or emotion component extraction. Since there is no open dataset for this task available, we first designed and annotated an emotion cause dataset which follows the scheme of W3 C Emotion Markup Language. We then present an emotion cause detection method by using event extraction framework,where a tree structure-based representation method is used to represent the events. Since the distribution of events is imbalanced in the training data, we propose an under-sampling-based bagging algorithm to solve this problem. Even with a limited training set, the proposed approach may still extract sufficient features for analysis by a bagging of multi-kernel based SVMs method. Evaluations show that our approach achieves an F-measure 7.04%higher than the state-of-the-art methods.
