Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder of the central nervous system, primarily manifesting in childhood. It is characterized by atypical and repetitive behaviors. Currently, diagnostic methods mainly rely on…

Affective computing is an emerging interdisciplinary field where computational systems are developed to analyze, recognize, and influence the affective states of a human. It can generally be divided into two subproblems: affective…

Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based emotion decoding can objectively quantify people's emotional state and has broad application prospects in human-computer interaction and early detection of emotional disorders. Recently emerging deep…

Classification of human emotions remains an important and challenging task for many computer vision algorithms, especially in the era of humanoid robots which coexist with humans in their everyday life. Currently proposed methods for…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that often impairs a child's normal development of the brain. According to CDC, it is estimated that 1 in 6 children in the US suffer from development disorders, and 1 in 68…

Diagnostic procedures for ASD (autism spectrum disorder) involve semi-naturalistic interactions between the child and a clinician. Computational methods to analyze these sessions require an end-to-end speech and language processing pipeline…

In this article, we introduce a novel problem of audio-visual autism behavior recognition, which includes social behavior recognition, an essential aspect previously omitted in AI-assisted autism screening research. We define the task at…

Current FER (Facial Expression Recognition) dataset is mostly labeled by emotion categories, such as happy, angry, sad, fear, disgust, surprise, and neutral which are limited in expressiveness. However, future affective computing requires…

Caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often find the 77-item Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) burdensome, limiting its use for routine monitoring. This study introduces a generalizable machine learning…

In this paper, we present a process to investigate the effects of transfer learning for automatic facial expression recognition from emotions to pain. To this end, we first train a VGG16 convolutional neural network to automatically discern…

The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex, challenging task as it depends on the analysis of interactional behaviors by psychologists rather than the use of biochemical diagnostics. In this paper, we present a modeling…

Resting-state fMRI is commonly used for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by using network-based functional connectivity. It has been shown that ASD is associated with brain regions and their inter-connections. However,…
