In this project, we created a database with two types of annotations used in the emotion recognition domain : Action Units and Valence Arousal to try to achieve better results than with only one model. The originality of the approach is…
This study investigates the key characteristics and suitability of widely used Facial Expression Recognition (FER) datasets for training deep learning models. In the field of affective computing, FER is essential for interpreting human…
This study takes a preliminary step toward teaching computers to recognize human emotions through Facial Emotion Recognition (FER). Transfer learning is applied using ResNeXt, EfficientNet models, and an ArcFace model originally trained on…
Humans modify their facial expressions in order to communicate their internal states and sometimes to mislead observers regarding their true emotional states. Evidence in experimental psychology shows that discriminative facial responses…
Predicting how events induce emotions in the characters of a story is typically seen as a standard multi-label classification task, which usually treats labels as anonymous classes to predict. They ignore information that may be conveyed by…
A fundamental challenge in affective cognitive science is to develop models that accurately capture the relationship between external emotional stimuli and human internal experiences. While ANNs have demonstrated remarkable accuracy in…
Face based affective computing consists in detecting emotions from face images. It is useful to unlock better automatic comprehension of human behaviours and could pave the way toward improved human-machines interactions. However it comes…
Recent models of emotion recognition strongly rely on supervised deep learning solutions for the distinction of general emotion expressions. However, they are not reliable when recognizing online and personalized facial expressions, e.g.,…
Facial expression is one of the most external indications of a person's feelings and emotions. In daily conversation, according to the psychologist, only 7% and 38% of information is communicated through words and sounds respective, while…
Understanding the mental state of other people is an important skill for intelligent agents and robots to operate within social environments. However, the mental processes involved in `mind-reading' are complex. One explanation of such…
Understanding the nuances of speech emotion dataset curation and labeling is essential for assessing speech emotion recognition (SER) model potential in real-world applications. Most training and evaluation datasets contain acted or…
In this study, we investigate how environmental factors, specifically the scenes and objects involved, can affect the expression of emotions through body language. To this end, we introduce a novel multi-stream deep convolutional neural…
Emotion classifiers traditionally predict discrete emotions. However, emotion expressions are often subjective, thus requiring a method to handle subjective labels. We explore the use of crowdsourcing to acquire reliable soft-target labels…
The recognition of emotions by humans is a complex process which considers multiple interacting signals such as facial expressions and both prosody and semantic content of utterances. Commonly, research on automatic recognition of emotions…
Acoustic emotion recognition aims to categorize the affective state of the speaker and is still a difficult task for machine learning models. The difficulties come from the scarcity of training data, general subjectivity in emotion…
We describe EmoBank, a corpus of 10k English sentences balancing multiple genres, which we annotated with dimensional emotion metadata in the Valence-Arousal-Dominance (VAD) representation format. EmoBank excels with a bi-perspectival and…
In the context of artificial intelligence, the inherent human attribute of engaging in logical reasoning to facilitate decision-making is mirrored by the concept of explainability, which pertains to the ability of a model to provide a clear…
Psychological research results have confirmed that people can have different emotional reactions to different visual stimuli. Several papers have been published on the problem of visual emotion analysis. In particular, attempts have been…
In this paper, we describe our algorithmic approach, which was used for submissions in the fifth Emotion Recognition in the Wild (EmotiW 2017) group-level emotion recognition sub-challenge. We extracted feature vectors of detected faces…
Emotion recognition and sentiment analysis are pivotal tasks in speech and language processing, particularly in real-world scenarios involving multi-party, conversational data. This paper presents a multimodal approach to tackle these…
