Abstract

Speech emotion recognition aims to identify the emotion expressed in the speech by analyzing the audio signals. In this work, data augmentation is first performed on the audio samples to increase the number of samples for better model learning. The audio samples are comprehensively encoded as the frequency and temporal domain features. In the classification, a light gradient boosting machine is leveraged. The hyperparameter tuning of the light gradient boosting machine is performed to determine the optimal hyperparameter settings. As the speech emotion recognition datasets are imbalanced, the class weights are regulated to be inversely proportional to the sample distribution where minority classes are assigned higher class weights. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outshines the state-of-the-art methods with 84.91% accuracy on the emo-DB dataset, 67.72% on the Ryerson audio-visual database of emotional speech and song (RAVDESS) dataset, and 62.94% on the interactive emotional dyadic motion capture (IEMOCAP) dataset.

Abstract

Localizing ground sensors with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in dense urban environments is challenging because multipath and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) propagation distorts path loss (PL) measurements. This paper proposes a two-stage UAV localization framework that refines PL data and selects geometrically stable waypoint subsets before position estimation. In stage 1, PL samples are spatially smoothed by averaging measurements at neighboring UAV waypoints to reduce localized fluctuations. In stage 2, waypoint subsets are filtered using non-collinearity and non-adjacency constraints, and sensor positions are estimated using weighted least squares (WLS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), with final estimates averaged across valid subsets. Wireless InSite ray-tracing simulations show that the framework reduces mean absolute error (MAE) from over 150 m to approximately 8.5 m. The proposed approach improves the practicality of UAV-assisted localization for urban internet of things (IoT) sensor deployments.
