emotion classification

Human emotion recognition is an upcoming research field of human computer interaction based on facial gestures and is being used for real-time analysis in classifying cognitive affective states from a facial video data. Since computers have become an integral part of life, many researchers are using emotion recognition and classification of data based on audio and text. But these approaches offer limited accuracy and relevance in emotion classification. Therefore we have introduced and analyzed a hybrid approach which could outperform the existing strategies that uses an innovative approach supported by selection of audio and video data characteristics for classification. The research uses SVM for classifying the data using audiovisual savee database and the results obtained show maximum classification accuracy with respect to audio data about 91.6 could be improved to 99.2% after the application of hybrid strategy.

In this paper, we present a Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) based approach to the classification of emotion in microtext. We develop a method that makes use of the notion put forward by Ortony, Clore, and Collins (1988), that emotions are valenced reactions. This hypothesis sits central to our system, in which we adapt contextual valence shifters to infer the emotional content of a text. We integrate this with an augmented version of WordNet-Affect, which acts as our lexicon. Finally, we experiment with a corpus of headlines proposed in the 2007 SemEval Affective Task (Strapparava and Mihalcea 2007) as our microtext corpus, and by taking the other competing systems as a baseline, demonstrate that our approach to emotion categorisation performs favourably.
