- Abstract: This paper describes the 6th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW)
Competition, which is part of the respective Workshop held in conjunction with
IEEE CVPR 2024. The 6th ABAW Competition addresses contemporary challenges in
understanding human emotions and behaviors, crucial for the development of
human-centered technologies. In more detail, the Competition focuses on affect
related benchmarking tasks and comprises of five sub-challenges: i)
Valence-Arousal Estimation (the target is to estimate two continuous affect
dimensions, valence and arousal), ii) Expression Recognition (the target is to
recognise between the mutually exclusive classes of the 7 basic expressions and
'other'), iii) Action Unit Detection (the target is to detect 12 action units),
iv) Compound Expression Recognition (the target is to recognise between the 7
mutually exclusive compound expression classes), and v) Emotional Mimicry
Intensity Estimation (the target is to estimate six continuous emotion
dimensions). In the paper, we present these Challenges, describe their
respective datasets and challenge protocols (we outline the evaluation metrics)
and present the baseline systems as well as their obtained performance. More

We study Acoustic Word Embeddings (AWEs), a fixed-length feature derived from continuous representations, to explore their advantages in specific tasks.
AWEs have previously shown utility in capturing acoustic discriminability.
Our findings underscore the acoustic context conveyed by AWEs and showcase the highly competitive Speech Emotion Recognition accuracies.

5th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) Competition is part of the respective ABAW Workshop which will be held in conjunction with IEEE Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR), 2023.
For this year's Competition, we feature two corpora: i) an extended version of the Aff-Wild2 database and ii) the Hume-Reaction dataset.
The latter dataset is an audiovisual one in which reactions of individuals to emotional stimuli have been annotated with respect to seven emotional expression intensities.
