Abstract

In this paper new original method of adaptive feature vector construction based on wavelet transform and genetic algorithm is proposed. Wavelet-based original feature vector is designed using genetic algorithm and support vector machine as classifier in order to provide better speaker emotion recognition. It was shown that the usage of the proposed adaptive feature vector lets to improve emotion recognition accuracy.
