EEG-Based Emotion Recognition Using Genetic Algorithm Optimized Multi-Layer Perceptron

원문 초록

Emotion Recognition is an important problem within Affective Computing and Human Computer Interaction. In recent years, various machine learning models have provided significant progress in the field of emotion recognition. This paper proposes a framework for EEG-based emotion recognition using Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP). Power Spectral Density features were used for quantifying the emotions in terms of valence-arousal scale and MLP is used for classification. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the architecture of MLP. The proposed model identifies a. two classes of emotions viz. Low/High Valence with an average accuracy of 91.10% and Low/High Arousal with an average accuracy of 91.02%, b. four classes of emotions viz. High Valence-Low Arousal (HVLA), High Valence-High Arousal (HVHA), Low Valence-Low Arousal (LVLA) and Low Valence-High Arousal (HVHA) with 83.52% accuracy. The reported results are better compared to existing results in the literature.
