Designing an applied software product for emotion recognition and evaluation using a neural network

During the analysis of the most common architectures for building neural networks for image analysis – a direct convolutional layer, a recurrent neural network, a convolutional neural network – the authors determined that the last architecture option for the task is the most suitable. The solutions available on the market, although they allow us to recognize emotions, do not evaluate them, and this is an important result for a wide variety of tasks, because such an assessment allows us to more accurately predict the possible future behavior of both individuals and groups of people. The purpose of this article is to design an application software product (application) and develop a prototype that could perform the functions of analyzing emotions and evaluating them. The objectives of this study include the choice of the architecture of the designed application; the development of an algorithm for the operation of the application; the design of the user interface; a description of the neural network learning process and its results, the model of which was defined in the previous article; demonstration of the prototype (control example). The scientific novelty of the projected application lies in the formation of an assessment of the psycho-emotional state of those people whose images of their faces were evaluated. Such an assessment with recommendations can be widely demanded in various branches of human activity, since it is important to be able to express emotions not only to ordinary people, but also to those whose job is to transfer their emotional state to others: business coaches, journalists, actors, animators, dancers, etc. The presence of emotional intelligence is very important at the moment time.
