Emotion recognition from facial EMG signals using higher order statistics and principal component analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-04)Higher order statistics (HOS) is an efficient feature extraction method used in diverse applications such as bio signal processing, seismic data processing, image processing, sonar, and radar. In this work, we have ... -
Frequency study of facial electromyography signals with respect to emotion recognition
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2014-01)Emotional intelligence is one of the key research areas in human-computer interaction. This paper reports the development of an emotion recognition system using facial electromyogram (EMG) signals focusing the ambiguity ... -
A hybrid expert system approach for telemonitoring of vocal fold pathology
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)Acoustical parameters extracted from the recorded voice samples are actively pursued for accurate detection of vocal fold pathology. Most of the system for detection of vocal fold pathology uses high quality voice samples. ... -
Objective evaluation of speech dysfluencies using wavelet packet transform with sample entropy
(Elsevier Inc, 2013-05)Dysfluency and stuttering are a break or interruption of normal speech such as repetition, prolongation, interjection of syllables, sounds, words or phrases and involuntary silent pauses or blocks in communication. Stuttering ... -
Comparison of speech parameterization techniques for the classification of speech disfluencies
(Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey, 2013-12)Stuttering assessment through the manual classification of speech disfluencies is subjective, inconsistent, time-consuming, and prone to error. The aim of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of the 3 speech feature ... -
