Simpler CNN model with spatial attention and temporal pooling outperforms complex models.
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 terms of facial Action Units (AUs), assuming a fixed expression intensity; iii) …
Generates music with video emotion using deep neural networks.
This paper presents a light-weight and accurate deep neural model for audiovisual emotion recognition. To design this model, the authors followed a philosophy of simplicity, drastically limiting the number of parameters to learn from the target datasets, always choosing the simplest earning methods: i) transfer learnin…
Unimodal approach for group-level emotion recognition without individual features.
While several approaches to face emotion recognition task are proposed in literature, none of them reports on power consumption nor inference time required to run the system in an embedded environment. Without adequate knowledge about these factors it is not clear whether we are actually able to provide accurate face e…
Novel bio-inspired masking for robust speech emotion recognition.
Emotional content is a crucial ingredient in user-generated videos. However, the sparsity of emotional expressions in the videos poses an obstacle to visual emotion analysis. In this paper, we propose a new neural approach, Bi-stream Emotion Attribution-Classification Network (BEAC-Net), to solve three related emotion …
This article provides the first survey of computational models of emotion in reinforcement learning (RL) agents. The survey focuses on agent/robot emotions, and mostly ignores human user emotions. Emotions are recognized as functional in decision-making by influencing motivation and action selection. Therefore, computa…
Gait patterns reveal emotions, offering a non-invasive method for automated recognition.
Project extends emotion recognition database and trains neural networks for categorical and dimensional emotions.
Various psychological factors affect how individuals express emotions. Yet, when we collect data intended for use in building emotion recognition systems, we often try to do so by creating paradigms that are designed just with a focus on eliciting emotional behavior. Algorithms trained with these types of data are unli…
Achieving advancements in automatic recognition of emotions that music can induce require considering multiplicity and simultaneity of emotions. Comparison of different machine learning algorithms performing multilabel and multiclass classification is the core of our work. The study analyzes the implementation of the G…

The approach is based on a Convolutional and Recurrent (CNN-RNN) deep neural architecture we have developed for the …
This research improves emotion detection from speech, enhancing CCC by 30%.
Emotions are intimately tied to motivation and the adaptation of behavior, and many animal species show evidence of emotions in their behavior. Therefore, emotions must be related to powerful mechanisms that aid survival, and, emotions must be evolutionary continuous phenomena. How and why did emotions evolve in nature…
End-to-end deep learning detects emotions in real-life emergency calls.
We propose a nonparallel data-driven emotional speech conversion method. It enables the transfer of emotion-related characteristics of a speech signal while preserving the speaker's identity and linguistic content. Most existing approaches require parallel data and time alignment, which is not available in most real ap…
