Mental Arousal Level Recognition Competition on the Shared Database

This paper presents the results of the shared task with the aim of arousal level recognition for the competition held in conjunction with the 27th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE 2019). A database annotated with arousal level labels released by Research Center for Development of Advanced Technologies. The contest was held on arousal database according to a defined protocol. Three teams were able to enter into the final stage of the competition according to compare their performance measure with the baseline method. The baseline method is proposed by the data owner. The aim of this paper is outlining the database, protocol design, and providing an overview of top-ranked algorithms proposed for the shared task.
