This paper addresses the expression (EXPR) recognition challenge in the 10th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-Wild (ABAW) workshop and competition, which requires frame-level classification of eight facial emotional expressions from…
Over the past few years many research efforts have been devoted to the field of affect analysis. Various approaches have been proposed for: i) discrete emotion recognition in terms of the primary facial expressions; ii) emotion analysis in…
Emotion being a subjective thing, leveraging knowledge and science behind labeled data and extracting the components that constitute it, has been a challenging problem in the industry for many years. With the evolution of deep learning in…
As a fine-grained and local expression behavior measurement, facial action unit (FAU) analysis (e.g., detection and intensity estimation) has been documented for its time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error-prone annotation. Thus a…
This report describes a multi-modal multi-task ($M^3$T) approach underlying our submission to the valence-arousal estimation track of the Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) Challenge, held in conjunction with the IEEE…
The rapid evolution of generative AI has increased the threat of realistic audio-visual deepfakes, demanding robust detection methods. Existing solutions primarily address unimodal (audio or visual) forgeries but struggle with multimodal…
Facial action units (AUs) are essential to decode human facial expressions. Researchers have focused on training AU detectors with a variety of features and classifiers. However, several issues remain. These are spatial representation,…
As a critical psychological stress response, micro-expressions (MEs) are fleeting and subtle facial movements revealing genuine emotions. Automatic ME recognition (MER) holds valuable applications in fields such as criminal investigation…
Facial action units (AUs) detection is fundamental to facial expression analysis. As AU occurs only in a small area of the face, region-based learning has been widely recognized useful for AU detection. Most region-based studies focus on a…
This paper addresses the question of emotion classification. The task consists in predicting emotion labels (taken among a set of possible labels) best describing the emotions contained in short video clips. Building on a standard framework…
Classifying the human emotion through facial expressions is a big topic in both the Computer Vision and Deep learning fields. Human emotion can be classified as one of the basic emotion types like being angry, happy or dimensional emotion…
Facial Expression Recognition (FER) in the wild is extremely challenging due to occlusions, variant head poses, face deformation and motion blur under unconstrained conditions. Although substantial progresses have been made in automatic FER…
People naturally understand emotions, thus permitting a machine to do the same could open new paths for human-computer interaction. Facial expressions can be very useful for emotion recognition techniques, as these are the biggest…
Studies have proven that domain bias and label bias exist in different Facial Expression Recognition (FER) datasets, making it hard to improve the performance of a specific dataset by adding other datasets. For the FER bias issue, recent…
Automated affective computing in the wild setting is a challenging problem in computer vision. Existing annotated databases of facial expressions in the wild are small and mostly cover discrete emotions (aka the categorical model). There…
The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) encodes the action units (AUs) in facial images, which has attracted extensive research attention due to its wide use in facial expression analysis. Many methods that perform well on automatic facial…
We present our contribution to the 8th ABAW challenge at CVPR 2025, where we tackle valence-arousal estimation, emotion recognition, and facial action unit detection as three independent challenges. Our approach leverages the well-known…
Facial Action Units (AUs) detection is a cornerstone of objective facial expression analysis and a critical focus in affective computing. Despite its importance, AU detection faces significant challenges, such as the high cost of AU…
It is challenging to recognize facial action unit (AU) from spontaneous facial displays, especially when they are accompanied by speech. The major reason is that the information is extracted from a single source, i.e., the visual channel,…
Facial expression in-the-wild is essential for various interactive computing domains. Especially, "Learning from Synthetic Data" (LSD) is an important topic in the facial expression recognition task. In this paper, we propose a multi-task…
