In this paper, a comparison of emotion classification undertaken by the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) Neural Network, using prosodic and voice quality features extracted from the Berlin Emotional Database, is reported. The features were extracted using PRAAT tools, while the WEKA tool was used for classification. Different parameters were set up for both SVM and MLP, which are used to obtain an optimized emotion classification. The results show that MLP overcomes SVM in overall emotion classification performance. Nevertheless, the training for SVM was much faster when compared to MLP. The overall accuracy was 76.82% for SVM and 78.69% for MLP. Sadness was the emotion most recognized by MLP, with accuracy of 89.0%, while anger was the emotion most recognized by SVM, with accuracy of 87.4%. The most confusing emotions using MLP classification were happiness and fear, while for SVM, the most confusing emotions were disgust and fear.
COVID-19 was first discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan. There have been reports of thousands of illnesses and hundreds of deaths in almost every region of the world. Medical images, when combined with cutting-edge technology such as artificial intelligence, have the potential to improve the efficiency of the public health system and deliver faster and more reliable findings in the detection of COVID-19. The process of developing the COVID-19 diagnostic system begins with image accusation and proceeds via preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. According to literature review, several attempts to develop taxonomies for COVID-19 detection using image processing methods have been introduced. However, most of these adhere to a standard category that exclusively considers classification methods. Therefore, in this study a new taxonomy for the early stages of COVID-19 detection is proposed. It attempts to offer a full grasp of image processing in COVID-19 while considering all phases required prior to classification. The survey concludes with a discussion of outstanding concerns and future directions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
