Facial valence/arousal, expression and action unit are related tasks in facial affective analysis. However, the tasks only have limited performance in the wild due to the various collected conditions. The 4th competition on affective…
Affective computing and cognitive theory are widely used in modern human-computer interaction scenarios. Human faces, as the most prominent and easily accessible features, have attracted great attention from researchers. Since humans have…
Affective Behavior Analysis aims to develop emotionally intelligent technology that can recognize and respond to human emotions. To advance this field, the 7th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) competition holds the Multi-Task…
Despite significant recent advances in the field of head pose estimation and facial expression recognition, raising the cognitive level when analysing human activity presents serious challenges to current concepts. Motivated by the need of…
In many domains, including online education, healthcare, security, and human-computer interaction, facial emotion recognition (FER) is essential. Real-world FER is still difficult despite its significance because of some factors such as…
This paper examines the integration of emotional intelligence into artificial intelligence systems, with a focus on affective computing and the growing capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and Claude, to recognize…
Facial expressions are the most common universal forms of body language. In the past few years, automatic facial expression recognition (FER) has been an active field of research. However, it is still a challenging task due to different…
In this article, we present the first in depth linguistic study of human feelings. While there has been substantial research on incorporating some affective categories into linguistic analysis (e.g. sentiment, and to a lesser extent,…
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…
This paper presents a novel approach for synthesizing facial affect; either in terms of the six basic expressions (i.e., anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness and surprise), or in terms of valence (i.e., how positive or negative is an emotion)…
Automated human emotion recognition from facial expressions is a well-studied problem and still remains a very challenging task. Some efficient or accurate deep learning models have been presented in the literature. However, it is quite…
Automatic affect recognition is a challenging task due to the various modalities emotions can be expressed with. Applications can be found in many domains including multimedia retrieval and human computer interaction. In recent years, deep…
Text-to-image diffusion models have achieved high visual fidelity, yet precise control over scene semantics and fine-grained affective tone remains challenging. Human visual affect arises from the rapid integration of contextual meaning,…
This study investigates the key characteristics and suitability of widely used Facial Expression Recognition (FER) datasets for training deep learning models. In the field of affective computing, FER is essential for interpreting human…
In this paper, the multi-task learning of lightweight convolutional neural networks is studied for face identification and classification of facial attributes (age, gender, ethnicity) trained on cropped faces without margins. The necessity…
In recent years, deep learning has achieved innovative advancements in various fields, including the analysis of human emotions and behaviors. Initiatives such as the Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) competition have been…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) represents a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in expressing emotions and communication, particularly during early childhood. Understanding the affective state of children at an early…
Relatively small data sets available for expression recognition research make the training of deep networks for expression recognition very challenging. Although fine-tuning can partially alleviate the issue, the performance is still below…
