Subject Identification

The ability to identify a subject is indispensable in affective computing research due to its wide range of applications. User profiling was created based on the strength of emotional patterns of the subject, which can be used for subject identification. Such system is made based on the emotional states of happiness and sadness, indicated by the electroencephalogram (EEG) data. In this paper, we examine several techniques used for subject profiling or identification purposed. Those techniques include feature extraction and classification techniques. In the experimental study, we compare three techniques for feature extraction namely, Power Spectral Density (PSD), Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). As for classification we compare three classification techniques, they are; Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Naive Bayesian (NB), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The best result achieved was 59.66%, using the MFCC and MLP-based techniques using 5-fold cross validation. The experiment results indicated that these profiles could be more accurate in identifying subject compared to NB and SVM. The comparisons demonstrated that profile-based methods for subject identification provide a viable and simple alternative to this problem.

Emotion recognition, as a branch of affective computing, has attracted great attention in the last decades as it can enable more natural brain-computer interface systems. Electroencephalography (EEG) has proven to be an effective modality for emotion recognition, with which user affective states can be tracked and recorded, especially for primitive emotional events such as arousal and valence. Although brain signals have been shown to correlate with emotional states, the effectiveness of proposed models is somewhat limited. The challenge is improving accuracy, while appropriate extraction of valuable features might be a key to success. This study proposes a framework based on incorporating fractal dimension features and recursive feature elimination approach to enhance the accuracy of EEG-based emotion recognition. The fractal dimension and spectrum-based features to be extracted and used for more accurate emotional state recognition. Recursive Feature Elimination will be used as a feature selection method, whereas the classification of emotions will be performed by the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The proposed framework will be tested with a widely used public database, and results are expected to demonstrate higher accuracy and robustness compared to other studies. The contributions of this study are primarily about the improvement of the EEG-based emotion classification accuracy. There is a potential restriction of how generic the results can be as different EEG dataset might yield different results for the same framework. Therefore, experimenting with different EEG dataset and testing alternative feature selection schemes can be very interesting for future work.

Abstract Most of the studies in the field of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based on electroencephalography have a wide range of applications. Extracting Steady State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP) is regarded as one of the most useful tools in BCI systems. In this study, different methods such as feature extraction with different spectral methods (Shannon entropy, skewness, kurtosis, mean, variance) (bank of filters, narrow-bank IIR filters, and wavelet transform magnitude), feature selection performed by various methods (decision tree, principle component analysis (PCA), t-test, Wilcoxon, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)), and classification step applying k nearest neighbor (k-NN), perceptron, support vector machines (SVM), Bayesian, multiple layer perceptron (MLP) were compared from the whole stream of signal processing. Through combining such methods, the effective overview of the study indicated the accuracy of classical methods. In addition, the present study relied on a rather new feature selection described by decision tree and PCA, which is used for the BCI-SSVEP systems. Finally, the obtained accuracies were calculated based on the four recorded frequencies representing four directions including right, left, up, and down.

The purpose of speech emotion recognition system is to automatically classify speaker's utterances into different emotional states such as disgust, boredom, sadness, neutral, and happiness. The speech samples in this paper are from the Berlin emotional database. Mel Frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCC), Linear prediction coefficients (LPC), linear prediction cepstrum coefficients (LPCC), Perceptual Linear Prediction (PLP) and Relative Spectral Perceptual Linear Prediction (Rasta-PLP) features are used to characterize the emotional utterances using a combination between Gaussian mixture models (GMM) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) based on the Kullback-Leibler Divergence Kernel. In this study, the effect of feature type and its dimension are comparatively investigated. The best results are obtained with 12-coefficient MFCC. Utilizing the proposed features a recognition rate of 84% has been achieved which is close to the performance of humans on this database.

Bci System

Brain-computer interface (BCI) has emerged as a popular research domain in recent years. The use of electroencephalography (EEG) signals for motor imagery (MI) based BCI has gained widespread attention. The first step in its implementation is to fetch EEG signals from scalp of human subject. The preprocessing of EEG signals is done before applying feature extraction, selection and classification techniques as main steps of signal processing. In preprocessing stage, artifacts are removed from raw brain signals before these are input to next stage of feature extraction. Subsequently classifier algorithms are used to classify selected features into intended MI tasks. The major challenge in a BCI systems is to improve classification accuracy of a BCI system. In this paper, an approach based on Support Vector Machine (SVM), is proposed for signal classification to improve accuracy of the BCI system. The parameters of kernel are varied to attain improvement in classification accuracy. Independent component analysis (ICA) technique is used for preprocessing and filter bank common spatial pattern (FBCSP) for feature extraction and selection. The proposed approach is evaluated on data set 2a of BCI Competition IV by using 5-fold crossvalidation procedure. Results show that it performs better in terms of classification accuracy, as compared to other methods reported in literature.

Speech recognition process applications are emerging as ever-zooming and efficient mechanisms in the hi-tech universe. There is a host of diverse interactive speech-aware applications in the market. With the rocketing requirement for upcoming embedded platforms and with the incredible increase in the demand for embedded computing, it is highly indispensable that the speech recognition systems (SRS) are put in place at the right time and in the proper form so that it is easily possible to perform multimedia tasks on these mechanisms. In this work, primarily through preprocessing the speech signal is processed where for the recognition of the particular signal, the noise is detached and then it enters into feature extraction in that peak signal frequency and it is compared with the standard signal and recognized. The signal is processed and noise free signal is produced by processing the signal to Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), Tri-spectral feature, and discrete wave transform (DWT). To the input of the multi-class Support vector machine, the output of the above mentioned features is given. The processed signal is converted in to text by multi SVM. It is proved that our proposed technique is better than the existing technique by comparing the existing technique (FFBN) feed forward back propagation with the proposed technique. The proposed technique is implemented in the working platform of MATLAB.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals contain a lot of human body performance information. With the development of the brain–computer interface (BCI) technology, many researchers have used the feature extraction and classification algorithms in various fields to study the feature extraction and classification of EEG signals. In this paper, the sensitive bands of EEG data under different mental workloads are studied. By selecting the characteristics of EEG signals, the bands with the highest sensitivity to mental loads are selected. In this paper, EEG signals are measured in different load flight experiments. First, the EEG signals are preprocessed by independent component analysis (ICA) to remove the interference of electrooculogram (EOG) signals, and then the power spectral density and energy are calculated for feature extraction. Finally, the feature importance is selected based on Gini impurity. The classification accuracy of the support vector machines (SVM) classifier is verified by comparing the characteristics of the full band with the characteristics of the β band. The results show that the characteristics of the β band are the most sensitive in EEG data under different mental workloads.

The early diagnosis of a motor is important. Many researchers have used deep learning to diagnose motor applications. This paper proposes a one-dimensional convolutional neural network for the diagnosis of permanent magnet synchronous motors. The one-dimensional convolutional neural network model is weakly supervised and consists of multiple convolutional feature-extraction modules. Through the analysis of the torque and current signals of the motors, the motors can be diagnosed under a wide range of speeds, variable loads, and eccentricity effects. The advantage of the proposed method is that the feature-extraction modules can extract multiscale features from complex conditions. The number of training parameters was reduced so as to solve the overfitting problem. Furthermore, the class feature map was proposed to automatically determine the frequency component that contributes to the classification using the weak learning method. The experimental results reveal that the proposed model can effectively diagnose three different motor states—healthy state, demagnetization fault state, and bearing fault state. In addition, the model can detect eccentric effects. By combining the current and torque features, the classification accuracy of the proposed model is up to 98.85%, which is higher than that of classical machine-learning methods such as the k-nearest neighbor and support vector machine.

Human Emotions

Due to the rapid development of human–computer interaction, affective computing has attracted more and more attention in recent years. In emotion recognition, Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are easier to be recorded than other physiological experiments and are not easily camouflaged. Because of the high dimensional nature of EEG data and the diversity of human emotions, it is difficult to extract effective EEG features and recognize the emotion patterns. This paper proposes a multi-feature deep forest (MFDF) model to identify human emotions. The EEG signals are firstly divided into several EEG frequency bands and then extract the power spectral density (PSD) and differential entropy (DE) from each frequency band and the original signal as features. A five-class emotion model is used to mark five emotions, including neutral, angry, sad, happy, and pleasant. With either original features or dimension reduced features as input, the deep forest is constructed to classify the five emotions. These experiments are conducted on a public dataset for emotion analysis using physiological signals (DEAP). The experimental results are compared with traditional classifiers, including K Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The MFDF achieves the average recognition accuracy of 71.05%, which is 3.40%, 8.54%, and 19.53% higher than RF, KNN, and SVM, respectively. Besides, the accuracies with the input of features after dimension reduction and raw EEG signal are only 51.30 and 26.71%, respectively. The result of this study shows that the method can effectively contribute to EEG-based emotion classification tasks.
