Abstract

When people are in an interview, with the interview questions, people’s emotions will change differently. Therefore, it is very helpful to detect people’s emotions in real-time. To do so, comprehensive data collection was performed through the voice recording platform and the Empatica E4 wristband (biofeedback). Also, through using both existing feed-forward deep neural network technology and machine learning, we implemented an artificial deep neural network that aims to detect real emotions using multiple sensors: voice and biometrics. The artificial deep neural network we implemented consistently achieved an accuracy of 85% in our testing set and 79% in validation sets to determine the emotional scale. The research also assists with understanding how to detect emotional ranges and the important role that it plays in interviews and conversations.
