criterion function. The confusion matrix and the final<br />

recognition results are presented in Table II and Table III<br />

respectively. The abbreviations in Table II stand for the six<br />

different emotions: anger, fear, disgust, happiness, sadness,<br />

and surprise, and FS in Table III means Feature Selection.<br />

As it is shown in Table III, the best performance (81.3%)<br />

belongs to fuzzy-pairwise LS-SVM using the features selected<br />

by Forward Selection algorithm. Table II shows that the most<br />

difficult emotion to recognize in our experiment is surprise<br />

and the easiest ones are sadness and happiness. And fear and<br />

sadness have the highest probability to be confused with each<br />

other.<br />

VI. CONCLUSION<br />

In this contribution, we introduced a set of new acoustic<br />

features which are used for the first time in the application of<br />

AER. For classification we used LS-SVM which is a recent<br />

and powerful classifier with many advantages to other<br />

conventional and popular classifiers such as Neural Networks.<br />

We also implemented different schemes to adapt our binary<br />

classifiers to a multi-category problem. The result of a Linear<br />

Classifier is compared with LS-SVM performance. We<br />

achieved an overall classification accuracy of 81.3% with<br />

fuzzy-pairwise LS-SVM<br />
