• Authors: Pooja Prajod, Dominik Schiller, Tobias Huber, Elisabeth Andr\'e
• Abstract summary: We present a process to investigate the effects of transfer learning for automatic facial expression recognition from emotions to pain. We first train a VGG16 convolutional neural network to automatically discern between eight categorical emotions. We then fine-tune larger parts of this network to learn suitable representations for the task of automatic pain recognition.

• Abstract: 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 between eight categorical emotions. We then fine-tune successively larger parts of this network to learn suitable representations for the task of automatic pain recognition. Subsequently, we apply those fine-tuned representations again to the original task of emotion recognition to further investigate the differences in performance between the models. In the second step, we use Layer-wise Relevance Propagation to analyze predictions of the model that have been predicted correctly previously but are now wrongly classified. Based on this analysis, we rely on the visual inspection of a human observer to generate hypotheses about what has been forgotten by the model. Finally, we test those hypotheses quantitatively utilizing concept embedding analysis methods. Our results show that the network, which was fully fine-tuned for pain recognition, indeed payed less attention to two action units that are relevant for expression recognition but not for pain recognition.

  We advocate for two stages in a neural network's decision making process. The first is the existing feed-forward inference framework where patterns in given data are sensed and associated with previously learned patterns. The second is a slower reflection stage where we ask the network to reflect on its feed-forward decision by considering and evaluating all available choices.

  Current state-of-the-art models for automatic Facial Expression Recognition (FER) are based on very deep neural networks that are effective but rather expensive to train. We formalize the FaceChannel, a light-weight neural network that has much fewer parameters than common deep neural networks. We demonstrate how our model achieves a comparable, if not better, performance to the current state-of-the-art in FER.

Although our results show that the neural network achieves state-of-the-art results, the evaluation of the visual explanations reveals that relevant facial regions may not be considered.
