“…Regarding the automated recognition of emotional states, it is usually performed based on two methodologies [ 2 , 10 , 11 ]: (1) Traditional Machine Learning (ML) techniques [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]; (2) Deep learning approaches [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Due to the limited size of existing datasets, most of the work focuses on traditional ML algorithms, in particular Supervised Learning (SL), such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN) [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], Decision Trees (DT) [ 24 , 25 ], and others [ 26 , 27 ], with the SVM method being the most commonly applied algorithm, showing overall good results and low computational complexity.…”
