Abstract

In this paper, a comparison is made on the classifiers K*, Neural network and Random forest for identifying emotion, based on a combination of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Linear Predictor Coefficients (LPC) and formant features. The feature set has been arrived after carrying out a survey on the existing works of emotion identification. The paper finally concludes with the apt choice of the classifier for the chosen feature set to identify emotion.
