Audio and video-based extremists detection by Xu, Sijia

“…In the third step, five machine learning algorithms (Random Forrest, SVM with RBF kernel, SVM with linear kernel, AdaBoost and Decision Tree) are used in the extremist evaluation base on the extracted features in the second step. At last, the results of extremist detection of each strategy are compared by four evaluation standards in machine learning (Precision, Recall, F-score and Accuracy), and SVM with RBF kernel which has satisfactory result in evaluation is chosen for the detection method with both OpenSMILE and Affectiva applying on the original videos at the same time.…”
