In a nutshell, we applied a multi-label detection transformer that leverage multi-head attention to learn which part of the face image is the most relevant to predict each AU.

• Abstract: Action Unit (AU) Detection is the branch of affective computing that aims at recognizing unitary facial muscular movements. It is key to unlock unbiaised computational face representations and has therefore aroused great interest in the past few years. One of main obstacles toward building efficient deep learning based AU detection system facial images database annotated by AU experts. In that extent the ABAW challenge paves the way toward better AU detection as it involves a ~2M frames AU annotated dataset. In this paper, we present our submission to the ABAW3 challenge. In a nutshell, we applied a multi-label detection transformer that leverage multi-head attention to learn which part of the face image is the most relevant to predict each AU.

  Facial action unit (AU) detection remains a challenging task, due to the subtlety, dynamics, and diversity of AUs. We propose a novel AU detection framework called AC2D by adaptively constraining self-attention weight distribution. Our method achieves competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art AU detection approaches on challenging benchmarks.

  We show that subject identity provides a shortcut learning for the model and leads to sub-optimal solutions to AU predictions. We propose Identity Adrial Training (IAT) and demonstrate that a strong IAT regularization is necessary to learn identity-invariant features. Our proposed methods, Facial Masked Autoencoder (FMAE) and IAT, are simple, generic and effective.

Our method outperforms other contrastive learning methods and significantly closes the performance gap between the self-supervised and supervised AU detection approaches.

We propose a novel Dynamic Prototype Mask (DPM) based on two self-evident prior knowledge. Under this condition, the occluded representation could be well aligned in a selected subspace spontaneously.
