• Abstract summary: We address the importance of affect in automated pain assessment and the implications in real-world settings. We curate a new physiological dataset by merging the publicly available bioVid pain and emotion datasets. We then investigate pain level recognition on this dataset simulating participants' naturalistic affective behaviors.

• Abstract: In this work, we address the importance of affect in automated pain assessment and the implications in real-world settings. To achieve this, we curate a new physiological dataset by merging the publicly available bioVid pain and emotion datasets. We then investigate pain level recognition on this dataset simulating participants' naturalistic affective behaviors. Our findings demonstrate that acknowledging affect in pain assessment is essential. We observe degradation in recognition performance when simulating the existence of affect to validate pain assessment models that do not account for it. Conversely, we observe a performance boost in recognition when we account for affect.

  Ground truth of affect is attributed to the affect labels which inadvertently include biases inherent to the subjective nature of emotion and its labeling. This paper reframes the ways one may obtain a reliable ground truth of affect by transferring aspects of causation theory to affective computing. We employ causation inspired methods for detecting outliers in affective corpora and building affect models that are robust across participants and tasks.

  This paper introduces the first chronic cancer pain dataset, collected as part of the Intelligent Sight and Sound (ISS) clinical trial. The data collected to date consists of 29 patients, 509 smartphone videos, 189,999 frames, and self-reported affective and activity pain scores. Using static images and multi-modal data to predict self-reported pain levels, early models show significant gaps between current methods available to predict pain.
