Multimodal emotion recognition is a challenging research area that aims to fuse different modalities to predict human emotion. However, most existing models that are based on attention mechanisms have difficulty in learning emotionally…

Context can strongly affect object representations, sometimes leading to undesired biases, particularly when objects appear in out-of-distribution backgrounds at inference. At the same time, many object-centric tasks require to leverage the…

Generating realistic human motion with high-level controls is a crucial task for social understanding, robotics, and animation. With high-quality MOCAP data becoming more available recently, a wide range of data-driven approaches have been…

In this work, we explore an untapped signal in diffusion model inference. While all previous methods generate images independently at inference, we instead ask if samples can be generated collaboratively. We propose Group Diffusion,…

The emotion detection technology to enhance human decision-making is an important research issue for real-world applications, but real-life emotion datasets are relatively rare and small. The experiments conducted in this paper use the…

Human multimodal emotion recognition (MER) aims to perceive human emotions via language, visual and acoustic modalities. Despite the impressive performance of previous MER approaches, the inherent multimodal heterogeneities still haunt and…

Mutual information is widely applied to learn latent representations of observations, whilst its implication in classification neural networks remain to be better explained. We show that optimising the parameters of classification neural…

Always, some individuals in images are more important/attractive than others in some events such as presentation, basketball game or speech. However, it is challenging to find important people among all individuals in images directly based…

Bias discovery is critical for black-box generative models, especiall text-to-image (TTI) models. Existing works predominantly focus on output-level demographic distributions, which do not necessarily guarantee concept representations to be…

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…

In this paper, we propose a novel speech emotion recognition model called Cross Attention Network (CAN) that uses aligned audio and text signals as inputs. It is inspired by the fact that humans recognize speech as a combination of…

Various Vision Transformer (ViT) models have been widely used for image recognition tasks. However, existing visual explanation methods can not display the attention flow hidden inside the inner structure of ViT models, which explains how…

Disentangled representation learning strives to extract the intrinsic factors within observed data. Factorizing these representations in an unsupervised manner is notably challenging and usually requires tailored loss functions or specific…

This paper focuses on the challenging crowd counting task. As large-scale variations often exist within crowd images, neither fixed-size convolution kernel of CNN nor fixed-size attention of recent vision transformers can well handle this…

Humans have a selective memory, remembering relevant episodes and forgetting the less relevant information. Possessing awareness of event memorability for a user could help intelligent systems in more accurate user modelling, especially for…

Human affect recognition is a well-established research area with numerous applications, e.g., in psychological care, but existing methods assume that all emotions-of-interest are given a priori as annotated training examples. However, the…

In our multicultural world, affect-aware AI systems that support humans need the ability to perceive affect across variations in emotion expression patterns across cultures. These systems must perform well in cultural contexts without…

While analyzing the importance of features has become ubiquitous in interpretable machine learning, the joint signal from a group of related features is sometimes overlooked or inadvertently excluded. Neglecting the joint signal could…

Accurate recognition of human emotions is a crucial challenge in affective computing and human-robot interaction (HRI). Emotional states play a vital role in shaping behaviors, decisions, and social interactions. However, emotional…

Interpretable machine learning has become a very active area of research due to the rising popularity of machine learning algorithms and their inherently challenging interpretability. Most work in this area has been focused on the…
