Enhanced Emotion Recognition through Hybrid Deep Learning and SVM Integration

Abstract

The facial expression recognition system, which contributes to the processes to be more effective and faster in many fields such as medicine, education and security, plays an important role in various applications. For example, while emotional and psychological states can be monitored thanks to facial expression recognition in the health field, it can be used in critical applications such as lie detection in the security sector. In education, students' instant facial expressions are analyzed to contribute to the learning processes. The problem of emotion recognition from facial expressions, which is related to many fields, is of great importance in obtaining accurate and reliable results. Therefore, in order to increase the performance of emotion recognition from facial expressions, a hybrid approach combining deep learning and classical machine learning methods is considered in this study. In the proposed method, the ResNet50 model is used as a feature and Support Vector Machines (SVM) is used as a classifier. In this study, a hybrid approach consisting of the combination of ResNet50 and SVM methods is proposed-to increase the performance of emotion recognition from facial expressions. In order to analyze facial expressions, six basic emotions are classified as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise and disgust using the CK+48 dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed hybrid approach has high accuracy in emotion recognition and outperforms traditional machine-learning algorithms.
