When humans grasp objects in the real world, we often move our arms to hold the object in a different pose where we can use it. In contrast, typical lab settings only study the stability of the grasp immediately after lifting, without any…
This paper addresses the problem of diversity-aware sign language production, where we want to give an image (or sequence) of a signer and produce another image with the same pose but different attributes (\textit{e.g.} gender, skin color).…
Selfies have become increasingly fashionable in the social media era. People are willing to share their selfies in various social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Flicker. The popularity of selfie have caught researchers'…
Dynamic facial expression recognition has many useful applications in social networks, multimedia content analysis, security systems and others. This challenging process must be done under recurrent problems of image illumination and low…
It is in high demand to generate facial animation with high realism, but it remains a challenging task. Existing approaches of speech-driven facial animation can produce satisfactory mouth movement and lip synchronization, but show weakness…
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is essential for improving human-computer interaction, yet its accuracy remains constrained by the complexity of emotional nuances in speech. In this study, we distinguish between descriptive semantics,…
The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) and their growing integration into daily life underscore the importance of evaluating and ensuring their fairness. In this work, we examine fairness within the domain of emotional theory…
Images are capable of conveying emotions, but emotional experience is highly subjective. Advances in artificial intelligence have enabled the generation of images based on emotional descriptions. However, the level of agreement between the…
Speech-driven facial animation aims to synthesize lip-synchronized 3D talking faces following the given speech signal. Prior methods to this task mostly focus on pursuing realism with deterministic systems, yet characterizing the…
The primary objective is to teach a machine about human emotions, which has become an essential requirement in the field of social intelligence, also expedites the progress of human-machine interactions. The ability of a machine to…
Although much progress has been made in the facial expression analysis field, facial occlusions are still challenging. The main innovation brought by this contribution consists in exploiting the specificities of facial movement propagation…
Emojis come with prepacked semantics making them great candidates to create new forms of more accessible communications. Yet, little is known about how much of this emojis semantic is agreed upon by humans, outside of textual contexts.…
Veracity is an essential key in research and development of innovative products. Live Emotion analysis and verification nullify deceit made to complainers on live chat, corroborate messages of both ends in messaging apps and promote an…
Automated facial identification and facial expression recognition have been topics of active research over the past few decades. Facial and expression recognition find applications in human-computer interfaces, subject tracking, real-time…
Western tonality provides a hierarchy of stability among melodic scale-degrees, from the maximally stable tonic to unstable chromatic notes. Tonal stability has been linked to emotion, yet systematic investigations of the associations…
Facial expressions are crucial to human communication, offering insights into emotional states. This study examines how specific facial features influence emotion classification, using facial perturbations on the Fer2013 dataset. As…
Facial expressions vary from person to person, and the brightness, contrast, and resolution of every random image are different. This is why recognizing facial expressions is very difficult. This article proposes an efficient system for…
In this paper, an approach to the problem of automatic facial feature extraction from a still frontal posed image and classification and recognition of facial expression and hence emotion and mood of a person is presented. Feed forward back…
Accurate facial expression analysis is an essential step in various clinical applications that involve physical and mental health assessments of older adults (e.g. diagnosis of pain or depression). Although remarkable progress has been…
In our everyday lives and social interactions we often try to perceive the emotional states of people. There has been a lot of research in providing machines with a similar capacity of recognizing emotions. From a computer vision…
