Unlocking the Emotional States of High-Risk Suicide Callers through Speech Analysis

1 code implementation IEEE 18th International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC) 2024 Alaa Nfissi, Wassim Bouachir, Nizar Bouguila, Brian Mishara

In light of these challenges, we present a novel end-to-end (E2E) method for speech emotion recognition (SER) as a mean of detecting changes in emotional state, that may indicate a high risk of suicide.

1D-Convolutional transformer for Parkinson disease diagnosis from gait

1 code implementation6 Nov 2023 Safwen Naimi, Wassim Bouachir, Guillaume-Alexandre Bilodeau

Our experimental results show that our approach is effective for detecting the different stages of Parkinson's disease from gait data, with a final accuracy of 88%, outperforming other state-of-the-art AI methods on the Physionet gait dataset.

Automatic counting of planting microsites via local visual detection and global count estimation

no code implementations1 Nov 2023 Ahmed Zgaren, Wassim Bouachir, Nizar Bouguila

CNN-n-GRU: end-to-end speech emotion recognition from raw waveform signal using CNNs and gated recurrent unit networks

no code implementations 21st IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA) 2023 Alaa Nfissi, Wassim Bouachir, Nizar Bouguila, Brian Mishara

Instead of using hand- crafted features or spectrograms, we train CNNs to recognise low-level speech representations from raw waveform, which allows the network to capture relevant narrow-band emotion characteristics.
