Micro-gesture recognition and behavior-based emotion prediction are both highly challenging tasks that require modeling subtle, fine-grained human behaviors, primarily leveraging video and skeletal pose data. In this work, we present two…
Emotion understanding is a fundamental challenge in affective computing and artificial intelligence. While existing approaches predominantly focus on facial expressions and speech, they often overlook the rich emotional cues conveyed…
Micro-gesture recognition is a challenging task in affective computing due to the subtle, involuntary nature of the gestures and their low movement amplitude. In this paper, we introduce a Pose-Guided Semantics-Aware CLIP-based…
Micro-gesture recognition (MGR) is challenging due to subtle inter-class variations. Existing methods rely on category-level supervision, which is insufficient for capturing subtle and localized motion differences. Thus, this paper proposes…
Psychological studies have shown that Micro Gestures (MG) are closely linked to human emotions. MG-based emotion understanding has attracted much attention because it allows for emotion understanding through nonverbal body gestures without…
Micro-gestures are unconsciously performed body gestures that can convey the emotion states of humans and start to attract more research attention in the fields of human behavior understanding and affective computing as an emerging topic.…
In this paper, we present MM-Gesture, the solution developed by our team HFUT-VUT, which ranked 1st in the micro-gesture classification track of the 3rd MiGA Challenge at IJCAI 2025, achieving superior performance compared to previous…
We introduce a new dataset for the emotional artificial intelligence research: identity-free video dataset for Micro-Gesture Understanding and Emotion analysis (iMiGUE). Different from existing public datasets, iMiGUE focuses on nonverbal…
Emotion recognition is relevant for human behaviour understanding, where facial expression and speech recognition have been widely explored by the computer vision community. Literature in the field of behavioural psychology indicates that…
In this work, we focus on a special group of human body language -- the micro-gesture (MG), which differs from the range of ordinary illustrative gestures in that they are not intentional behaviors performed to convey information to others,…
Micro-expressions are nonverbal facial expressions that reveal the covert emotions of individuals, making the micro-expression recognition task receive widespread attention. However, the micro-expression recognition task is challenging due…
Recognizing fine-grained actions from temporally corrupted skeleton sequences remains a significant challenge, particularly in real-world scenarios where online pose estimation often yields substantial missing data. Existing methods often…
Surface electromyogram (sEMG), as a bioelectrical signal reflecting the activity of human muscles, has a wide range of applications in the control of prosthetics, human-computer interaction and so on. However, the existing recognition…
Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based emotion recognition is an important affective computing task, and recent EEG foundation models provide useful generic representations for downstream adaptation. However, under the fine-tuning setting, three…
In this paper, we briefly introduce the solution of our team HFUT-VUT for the Micros-gesture Classification in the MiGA challenge at IJCAI 2023. The micro-gesture classification task aims at recognizing the action category of a given video…
Facial micro-expressions (MEs) are involuntary movements of the face that occur spontaneously when a person experiences an emotion but attempts to suppress or repress the facial expression, typically found in a high-stakes environment. In…
Emotion recognition through body movements has emerged as a compelling and privacy-preserving alternative to traditional methods that rely on facial expressions or physiological signals. Recent advancements in 3D skeleton acquisition…
Micro-gestures are subtle and transient movements triggered by unconscious neural and emotional activities, holding great potential for human-computer interaction and clinical monitoring. However, their low amplitude, short duration, and…
