This paper presents our solution for the Elderly Action Recognition (EAR) Challenge, part of the Computer Vision for Smalls Workshop at WACV 2025. The competition focuses on recognizing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) performed by the…
Past shared tasks on emotions use data with both overt expressions of emotions (I am so happy to see you!) as well as subtle expressions where the emotions have to be inferred, for instance from event descriptions. Further, most datasets do…
Understanding why real-world events occur is important for both natural language processing and practical decision-making, yet direct-cause inference remains underexplored in evidence-rich settings. To address this gap, we organized…

Affective computing plays a key role in human-computer interactions, entertainment, teaching, safe driving, and multimedia integration. Major breakthroughs have been made recently in the areas of affective computing (i.e., emotion…
Dynamic facial expression recognition (FER) databases provide important data support for affective computing and applications. However, most FER databases are annotated with several basic mutually exclusive emotional categories and contain…
Affective Forecasting is an psychology task that involves predicting an individual's future emotional responses, often hampered by reliance on external factors leading to inaccuracies, and typically remains at a qualitative analysis stage.…
Many Natural Language Processing works on emotion analysis only focus on simple emotion classification without exploring the potentials of putting emotion into "event context", and ignore the analysis of emotion-related events. One main…
There is a growing interest in the community in making an embodied AI agent perform a complicated task while interacting with an environment following natural language directives. Recent studies have tackled the problem using ALFRED, a…
Group emotion recognition in the wild is a challenging problem, due to the unstructured environments in which everyday life pictures are taken. Some of the obstacles for an effective classification are occlusions, variable lighting…
The SemEval-2024 Task 3 presents two subtasks focusing on emotion-cause pair extraction within conversational contexts. Subtask 1 revolves around the extraction of textual emotion-cause pairs, where causes are defined and annotated as…
