Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Emotion recognition is the process of identifying human emotion. People vary widely in their accuracy at recognizing the emotions of others. The use of technology to help people with emotion recognition is a relatively nascent research area. Past studies have found that emotion recognition training using cognitive behavioral analysis improved emotion recognition among individuals with mental disorders. Additionally, an intelligent method for human–computer interaction is also needed to bridge the gap of communication. This requires natural language processing, speech/vision processing, machine learning, as well as core reasoning technologies. All of these problems deal with a stream of data not only from individual sensors, such as image sensors, biomedical signal sensors, and wearable devices, but also from the fusion of various sensors.

This Special Issue is looking for high-quality research contributions in one or more of the following domains:

  • Emotion recognition;
  • Gesture recognition;
  • Cognitive behavior analysis;
  • Speech emotion recognition;
  • Emotional cognition;
  • Facial recognition.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Sign language serves as the primary mode of communication for the deaf community. With technological advancements, it is crucial to develop systems capable of enhancing communication between deaf and hearing individuals. This paper reviews recent state-of-the-art methods in sign language recognition, translation, and production. Additionally, we introduce a rule-based system, called ruLSE, for generating synthetic datasets in Spanish Sign Language. To check the usefulness of these datasets, we conduct experiments with two state-of-the-art models based on Transformers, MarianMT and Transformer-STMC. In general, we observe that the former achieves better results (+3.7 points in the BLEU-4 metric) although the latter is up to four times faster. Furthermore, the use of pre-trained word embeddings in Spanish enhances results. The rule-based system demonstrates superior performance and efficiency compared to Transformer models in Sign Language Production tasks. Lastly, we contribute to the state of the art by releasing the generated synthetic dataset in Spanish named synLSE. Full article
