Abstract

Emotion classification based on Electroencephalography (EEG) and physiological signals has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential applications in affective computing and human-computer interaction. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm that combines a hybrid feature extraction technique with soft labels and weighting factors to improve emotion classification. Our approach incorporates a hybrid technique that combines Fourier Transform and Time Domain features extracted from EEG recordings with existing features of arousal, valence, and dominance from the dataset. To address overfitting, we employ Laplacian Eigenmaps for dimensionality reduction and unsupervised spectral clustering to derive soft labels. These soft labels enhance the generalizability of the classifier. The classification stage employs a Support Vector Machine with a Radial Basis Function kernel, taking into account the soft labels and a weighting factor based on wheel strength. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, with improved accuracy and specificity compared to a baseline SVM RBF classifier without soft labels. Therefore, our proposed algorithm offers a promising solution for emotion classification, providing insights into the underlying emotional states captured by EEG and physiological signals.
