A Hierarchical Probabilistic Framework for Recognizing Learners’ Interaction Experience Trends and Emotions

Table 2

Model inference accuracy. Outright classification is done by assigning each instance to the class with the highest probability (maximum a posteriori procedure). Participants’ matching self-reports are used as a ground truth. For the nonhierarchical approaches (NB, DT, and SVM), the inference is achieved only for the experienced trends.
