Optimized Feature Selection Approach with Elicit Conditional Generative Adversarial Network Based Class Balancing Approach for Multimodal Sentiment Analysis in Car Reviews

Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (MSA) is a growing area of emotional computing that involves analyzing data from three different modalities. Gathering data from Multimodal Sentiment analysis in Car Reviews (MuSe-CaR) is challenging due to data imbalance across modalities. To address this, an effective data augmentation approach is proposed by combining dynamic synthetic minority oversampling with a multimodal elicitation conditional generative adversarial network for emotion recognition using audio, text, and visual data. The balanced data is then fed into a granular elastic-net regression with a hybrid feature selection method based on dandelion fick’s law optimization to analyze sentiments. The selected features are input into a multilabel wavelet convolutional neural network to classify emotion states accurately. The proposed approach, implemented in python, outperforms existing methods in terms of trustworthiness (0.695), arousal (0.723), and valence (0.6245) on the car review dataset. Additionally, the feature selection method achieves high accuracy (99.65%), recall (99.45%), and precision (99.66%). This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed MSA approach, even with three modalities of data.
