• Abstract: Facial expression recognition has gained significance as a means of imparting social robots with the capacity to discern the emotional states of users. The use of social robotics includes a variety of settings, including homes, nursing homes or daycare centers, serving to a wide range of users. Remarkable performance has been achieved by deep learning approaches, however, its direct use for recognizing facial expressions in individuals with intellectual disabilities has not been yet studied in the literature, to the best of our knowledge. To address this objective, we train a set of 12 convolutional neural networks in different approaches, including an ensemble of datasets without individuals with intellectual disabilities and a dataset featuring such individuals. Our examination of the outcomes, both the performance and the important image regions for the models, reveals significant distinctions in facial expressions between individuals with and without intellectual disabilities, as well as among individuals with intellectual disabilities. Remarkably, our findings show the need of facial expression recognition within this population through tailored user-specific training methodologies, which enable the models to effectively address the unique expressions of each user.

  We propose Contrastive Inhibitory Adaptati On (CIAO), a mechanism that adapts the last layer of facial encoders to depict specific affective characteristics on different datasets. CIAO presents an improvement in facial expression recognition performance over six different datasets with very unique affective representations.

  We propose to represent the target subjects person-specific cognition in the form of a person-specific CNN architecture. Each person-specific CNN is explored by the Neural Architecture Search (NAS) and a novel adaptive loss function. Experimental results show that the produced graph representations are well associated with target subjects' personality traits.

  We propose a multi-resolution approach to solve the Facial Expression Recognition task. We ground our intuition on the observation that often faces images are acquired at different resolutions. To our aim, we use a ResNet-like architecture, equipped with Squeeze-and-Excitation blocks, trained on the Affect-in-the-Wild 2 dataset.

• Occlusion-Adaptive Deep Network for Robust Facial Expression Recognition [56.11054589916299]
  We propose a landmark-guided attention branch to find and discard corrupted features from occluded regions. An attention map is first generated to indicate if a specific facial part is occluded and guide our model to attend to non-occluded regions. This results in more diverse and discriminative features, enabling the expression recognition system to recover even though the face is partially occluded.

We propose a unified task-driven framework - Compositional Generative Adversarial Network (Comp-GAN) learning to synthesize facial images.
