• Abstract summary: This paper presents our submission to the Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) 2023 Competition for AU detection. We propose a multi-modal method for facial action unit detection with visual, acoustic, and lexical features extracted from the large pre-trained models. Our approach achieves the F1 score of 52.3% on the official validation set of the 5th ABAW Challenge.

• Abstract: Facial action unit detection has emerged as an important task within facial expression analysis, aimed at detecting specific pre-defined, objective facial expressions, such as lip tightening and cheek raising. This paper presents our submission to the Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) 2023 Competition for AU detection. We propose a multi-modal method for facial action unit detection with visual, acoustic, and lexical features extracted from the large pre-trained models. To provide high-quality details for visual feature extraction, we apply super-resolution and face alignment to the training data and show potential performance gain. Our approach achieves the F1 score of 52.3% on the official validation set of the 5th ABAW Challenge.
