This study proposes a novel class-dependent feature selection model to improve the performance of speech emotion recognition. Particularly
we adopt the markov blanket technique to select discriminative features for each emotion class
and use the support vector machine classifier to build the emotion recognition model. To make better decision in multi-label classification
the binary discriminative output of the support vector machine is transformed to a probability output for solving the voting conflict problem. Extensive experimental results on the a publicly available dataset show that in comparison with information gain
principal component analysis
and class-independent feature selectors
the proposed method significantly reduces the feature dimensionality and obtains better classification accuracy.
