Emotion recognition is very important for human-computer intelligent interaction. It is generally performed on facial or audio information by artificial neural network, fuzzy set, support vector machine, hidden Markov model, and so forth. Although some progress has already been made in emotion recognition, several unsolved issues still exist. For example, it is still an open problem which features are the most important for emotion recognition. It is a subject that was seldom studied in computer science. However, related research works have been conducted in cognitive psychology. In this paper, feature selection for facial emotion recognition is studied based on rough set theory. A self-learning attribute reduction algorithm is proposed based on rough set and domain oriented data-driven data mining theory. Experimental results show that important and useful features for emotion recognition can be identified by the proposed method with a high recognition rate. It is found that the features concerning mouth are the most important ones in geometrical features for facial emotion recognition.

Speech emotion recognition is becoming more and more important in such computer application fields as health care, children education, etc. In order to improve the prediction performance or providing faster and more cost-effective recognition system, an attribute selection is often carried out beforehand to select the important attributes from the input attribute sets. However, it is time-consuming for traditional feature selection method used in speech emotion recognition to determine an optimum or suboptimum feature subset. Rough set theory offers an alternative, formal and methodology that can be employed to reduce the dimensionality of data. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Rough Set Theory in identifying important features in speech emotion recognition system. The experiments on CLDC emotion speech database clearly show this approach can reduce the calculation cost while retaining a suitable high recognition rate.

Feature selection is one of the widely used pre-processing techniques to deal with large data sets. In this context, rough set theory has been successfully implemented for feature selection of discrete data set but in case of continuous data set it requires discretization, which may cause information loss. Fuzzy rough set theory approaches have also been used successfully to resolve this issue as it can handle continuous data directly. Moreover, almost all feature selection techniques are used to handle homogeneous data set. In this article, the center of attraction is on heterogeneous feature subset reduction. A novel intuitionistic fuzzy neighborhood models have been proposed by combining intuitionistic fuzzy sets and neighborhood rough set models by taking an appropriate pair of lower and upper approximations and generalize it for feature selection, supported with theory and its validation. An appropriate algorithm along with application to a data set has been added.
