• Abstract: Emotion recognition (ER) from speech signals is a robust approach since it cannot be imitated like facial expression or text based sentiment analysis. Valuable information underlying the emotions are significant for human-computer interactions enabling intelligent machines to interact with sensitivity in the real world. Previous ER studies through speech signal processing have focused exclusively on associations between different signal mode decomposition methods and hidden informative features. However, improper decomposition parameter selections lead to informative signal component losses due to mode duplicating and mixing. In contrast, the current study proposes VGG-optiVMD, an empowered variational mode decomposition algorithm, to distinguish meaningful speech features and automatically select the number of decomposed modes and optimum balancing parameter for the data fidelity constraint by assessing their effects on the VGG16 flattening output layer. Various feature vectors were employed to train the VGG16 network on different databases and assess VGG-optiVMD reproducibility and reliability. One, two, and three-dimensional feature vectors were constructed by concatenating Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, Chromagram, Mel spectrograms, Tonnetz diagrams, and spectral centroids. Results confirmed a synergistic relationship between the fine-tuning of the signal sample rate and decomposition parameters with classification accuracy, achieving state-of-the-art 96.09% accuracy in predicting seven emotions on the Berlin EMO-DB database.

  Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology enables direct interaction between humans and computers by analyzing brain signals. EEG signals are often affected by a low signal-to-noise ratio, physiological artifacts, and individual variability, representing challenges in extracting distinct features. Also, motor imagery (MI)-based EEG signals could contain features with low correlation to MI characteristics, which might cause the weights of the deep model to become biased towards those features.

  Specific emitter identification (SEI) technology is significant in device administration scenarios, such as self-organized networking and spectrum management. For nonlinear and non-stationary electromagnetic signals, SEI often employs variational modal decomposition (VMD) to decompose the signal in order to effectively characterize the distinct device fingerprint. In this paper, we propose a joint variational modal decomposition (JVMD) algorithm, which is an improved version of VMD by simultaneously implementing modal decomposition on multi-frame signals.
