The Internet revolution has resulted in abundant data from various sources, including social media, traditional media, etcetera. Although the availability of data is no longer an issue, data labelling for exploiting it in supervised machine learning is still an expensive process and involves tedious human efforts. The overall purpose of this study is to propose a strategy to automatically label the unlabeled textual data with the support of active learning in combination with deep learning. More specifically, this study assesses the performance of different active learning strategies in automatic labelling of the textual dataset at sentence and document levels. To achieve this objective, different experiments have been performed on the publicly available dataset. In first set of experiments, we randomly choose a subset of instances from training dataset and train a deep neural network to assess performance on test set. In the second set of experiments, we replace the random selection with different active learning strategies to choose a subset of the training dataset to train the same model and reassess its performance on test set. The experimental results suggest that different active learning strategies yield performance improvement of 7% on document level datasets and 3% on sentence level datasets for auto labelling.

Facial expression recognition (FER) plays a vital role in image processing according to the widespread development of human interactive applications. In the past few years, various researchers have focused on FER for implementing it in different applications. The existing system suffers from various complexities such as low accuracy, computational cost, and poor recognition performances. In this article, we proposed a novel concept to recognize facial expressions. The proposed work comprises three sections that are pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification. The pre-processing techniques remove the unwanted data from the original image and enhance the crucial details for further processing. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used for feature extraction. But, it yields lower performance in terms of feature extraction due to the shortage of hyperparameter tuning. Hence, the Multi-strategy Gravitational Search Algorithm (M-GSA) is utilized to extract the facial expression features from the eyebrow movement, nose, chin, and lip corner of the facial images. The facial expressions are classified via the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. In this work, the top five facial expressions such as surprise, sad, happy, fear, and angry with three facial expression datasets such as FER-2013 dataset, CK+ dataset, and JAFFE dataset. Ultimately, the proposed method demonstrates better classification accuracy and recognition rates than different kinds of state-of-art methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
