• Abstract: Deep convolutional neural networks have been shown to successfully recognize facial emotions for the past years in the realm of computer vision. However, the existing detection approaches are not always reliable or explainable, we here propose our model GiMeFive with interpretations, i.e., via layer activations and gradient-weighted class activation mapping. We compare against the state-of-the-art methods to classify the six facial emotions. Empirical results show that our model outperforms the previous methods in terms of accuracy on two Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) benchmarks and our aggregated FER GiMeFive. Furthermore, we explain our work in real-world image and video examples, as well as real-time live camera streams. Our code and supplementary material are available at https: //github.com/werywjw/SEP-CVDL.

We demonstrate how our model achieves a comparable, if not better, performance to the current state-of-the-art in FER.
