In this article, we present an automatic technique for recognizing emotional states from speech signals. The main focus of this paper is to present an efficient and reduced set of acoustic features that allows us to recognize the four basic human emotions (anger, sadness, joy, and neutral). The proposed features vector is composed by twenty-eight measurements corresponding to standard acoustic features such as formants, fundamental frequency (obtained by Praat software) as well as introducing new features based on the calculation of the energies in some specific frequency bands and their distributions (thanks to MATLAB codes). The extracted measurements are obtained from syllabic units’ consonant/vowel (CV) derived from Moroccan Arabic dialect emotional database (MADED) corpus. Thereafter, the data which has been collected is then trained by a k-nearest-neighbor (KNN) classifier to perform the automated recognition phase. The results reach 64.65% in the multi-class classification and 94.95% for classification between positive and negative emotions.

Students are an important asset in the world of education also an institution and therefore also need to pay attention to students' graduation rates on time. The ups and downs of the percentage of students' abilities in classroom learning is one important element for assessing university accreditation. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and evaluate teaching and learning activities using the KNN Algorithm classification. By processing student complaints data and seeing the results of previous learning can obtain important things for higher education needs. In predicting graduation rates based on complaints, this study uses the K-Nearest Neighbor classification algorithm by grouping data k = 1, k = 2, k = 3 with the smallest value possible. In experiments using the KNN method the results were clearly visible and showed quite good accuracy. From the experiment it was concluded that if there were fewer complaints from one student it could minimize the level of student non-graduates at the university and ultimately produce good accreditation.

Due to the problems with uncontrolled changes in mangrove forests, a forest function management and supervision is required. The form of mangrove forest management carried out in this study is to measure the area of mangrove forests by observing the forests using drones or crewless aircraft. Drones are used to take photos because they can capture vast mangrove forests with high resolution. The drone was flown over above the mangrove forest and took several photos. The method used in this study is extracting color features using mean values, standard deviations, and skewness in the HSV color space and texture feature extraction with Haralick features. The classification method used is the k-nearest neighbor method. This study conducted three tests, namely testing the accuracy of the system, testing the distance method used in the k-nearest neighbor classification method, and testing the k value. Based on the results of the three tests above, three conclusions obtained. The first conclusion is that the classification system produces an accuracy of 84%. The second conclusion is that the distance method used in the k-nearest neighbor classification method influences the accuracy of the system. The distance method that produces the highest accuracy is the Euclidean distance method with an accuracy of 84%. The third conclusion is that the k value used in the k-nearest neighbor classification method influences the accuracy of the system. The k-value that produces the highest accuracy is k = 3, with an accuracy of 84%.

Deep Learning Features

This paper presents a methodology for Age-Invariant Face Recognition (AIFR), based on the optimization of deep learning features. The proposed method extracts deep learning features using transfer deep learning, extracted from the unprocessed face images. To optimize the extracted features, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) procedure is designed in order to select the most relevant features to the problem of identifying a person based on his/her facial images over different ages. For classification, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifiers with different distance metrics are investigated, i.e., Correlation, Euclidian, Cosine, and Manhattan distance metrics. Experimental results using a Manhattan distance KNN classifier achieves the best Rank-1 recognition rate of 86.2% and 96% on the standard FGNET and MORPH datasets, respectively. Compared to the state-of-the-art methods, our proposed method needs no preprocessing stages. In addition, the experiments show its privilege over other related methods.

Abstract In this paper, a novel approach that is based on two-stepped majority voting is proposed for efficient EEG based emotion classification. Emotion recognition is important for human-machine interactions. Facial-features and body-gestures based approaches have been generally proposed for emotion recognition. Recently, EEG based approaches become more popular in emotion recognition. In the proposed approach, the raw EEG signals are initially low-pass filtered for noise removal and band-pass filters are used for rhythms extraction. For each rhythm, the best performed EEG channels are determined based on wavelet-based entropy features and fractal dimension based features. The k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier is used in classification. The best five EEG channels are used in majority voting for getting the final predictions for each EEG rhythm. In the second majority voting step, the predictions from all rhythms are used to get a final prediction. The DEAP dataset is used in experiments and classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity are used for performance evaluation metrics. The experiments are carried out to classify the emotions into two binary classes such as high valence (HV) vs low valence (LV) and high arousal (HA) vs low arousal (LA). The experiments show that 86.3% HV vs LV discrimination accuracy and 85.0% HA vs LA discrimination accuracy is obtained. The obtained results are also compared with some of the existing methods. The comparisons show that the proposed method has potential in the use of EEG based emotion classification.
