The project leverages advanced machine and deep learning techniques to address the challenge of emotion recognition by focusing on non-facial cues, specifically hands, body gestures, and gestures. Traditional emotion recognition systems…
Continuous affect prediction in the wild is a very interesting problem and is challenging as continuous prediction involves heavy computation. This paper presents the methodologies and techniques used in our contribution to predict…
Large language models (LLMs) enable increasingly capable tutoring-style conversational agents, yet effective tutoring requires sensitivity to learners' affective and cognitive states beyond text alone. Facial expressions provide immediate…
Affective behavior analysis plays an important role in human-computer interaction, customer marketing, health monitoring. ABAW Challenge and Aff-Wild2 dataset raise the new challenge for classifying basic emotions and regression…
Facial expression recognition has gained significance as a means of imparting social robots with the capacity to discern the emotional states of users. The use of social robotics includes a variety of settings, including homes, nursing…
Augmented reality devices have the potential to enhance human perception and enable other assistive functionalities in complex conversational environments. Effectively capturing the audio-visual context necessary for understanding these…
Automatic affective recognition has been an important research topic in human computer interaction (HCI) area. With recent development of deep learning techniques and large scale in-the-wild annotated datasets, the facial emotion analysis…
It is now well established from a variety of studies that there is a significant benefit from combining video and audio data in detecting active speakers. However, either of the modalities can potentially mislead audiovisual fusion by…
In this paper, we extended the method proposed in [21] to enable humans to interact naturally with autonomous agents through vocal and textual conversations. Our extended method exploits the inherent capabilities of pre-trained large…
This paper presents a self-supervised method for visual detection of the active speaker in a multi-person spoken interaction scenario. Active speaker detection is a fundamental prerequisite for any artificial cognitive system attempting to…
Modern day conversational agents are trained to emulate the manner in which humans communicate. To emotionally bond with the user, these virtual agents need to be aware of the affective state of the user. Transformers are the recent state…
Analysis of human affect plays a vital role in human-computer interaction (HCI) systems. Due to the difficulty in capturing large amounts of real-life data, most of the current methods have mainly focused on controlled environments, which…
Interactions with virtual assistants typically start with a trigger phrase followed by a command. In this work, we explore the possibility of making these interactions more natural by eliminating the need for a trigger phrase. Our goal is…
Facial action unit detection has emerged as an important task within facial expression analysis, aimed at detecting specific pre-defined, objective facial expressions, such as lip tightening and cheek raising. This paper presents our…
Expression recognition in in-the-wild video data remains challenging due to substantial variations in facial appearance, background conditions, audio noise, and the inherently dynamic nature of human affect. Relying on a single modality,…
Audiovisual active speaker detection (ASD) is conventionally performed by modelling the temporal synchronisation of acoustic and visual speech cues. In egocentric recordings, however, the efficacy of synchronisation-based methods is…
In this work, we introduce our submission to the 2nd Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) 2021 competition. We train a unified deep learning model on multi-databases to perform two tasks: seven basic facial expressions prediction…
Affect recognition based on subjects' facial expressions has been a topic of major research in the attempt to generate machines that can understand the way subjects feel, act and react. In the past, due to the unavailability of large…
Flattery is an important aspect of human communication that facilitates social bonding, shapes perceptions, and influences behavior through strategic compliments and praise, leveraging the power of speech to build rapport effectively. Its…
In this paper, we present our advanced solutions to the two sub-challenges of Affective Behavior Analysis in the wild (ABAW) 2023: the Emotional Reaction Intensity (ERI) Estimation Challenge and Expression (Expr) Classification Challenge.…
