Reordering Features with Weights Fusion in Multiclass and Multiple-Kernel Speech Emotion Recognition

The selection of feature subset is a crucial aspect in speech emotion recognition problem. In this paper, a Reordering Features with Weights Fusion (RFWF) algorithm is proposed for selecting more effective and compact feature subset. The RFWF algorithm fuses the weights reflecting the relevance, com...
