How does this lead to innovation? What does this have to do with Deep Learning? Intuition like consciousness is something that we are all aware of its existence but likely have not investigated in enough detail to have a grounded understanding of its nature. In fact, I would say that there's more research on the nature of consciousness than research on intuition. I've written earlier about a few research groups that have explored consciousness with respect to an artificial general intelligence, however I don't think has been equivalently the same effort with the study of intuition.

Research in the field of Affective Computing on affect recognition through speech has used a “fishing expedition” approach. Although some frameworks could achieve certain success rates, many of these approaches missed the theory behind the underlying voice and speech production mechanism. In this work, we found some correlation among the acoustic parameters (paralinguistic/non-verbal speech content) in the physiological mechanism of voice production. Furthermore, we also found some correlation when analyzing their relationships statistically. Aligned with this finding, we implemented our framework using the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm. Although our work is still in its infancy, we believe this context-free approach will bring us forward toward creating an intelligent agent with affect recognition ability. This paper describes the problem, our approach and our results.
