• Abstract: We present our contribution to the 7th ABAW challenge at ECCV 2024, by utilizing a Dual-Direction Attention Mixed Feature Network (DDAMFN) for multitask facial expression recognition, we achieve results far beyond the proposed baseline for the Multi-Task ABAW challenge. Our proposal uses the well-known DDAMFN architecture as base to effectively predict valence-arousal, emotion recognition, and facial action units. We demonstrate the architecture ability to handle these tasks simultaneously, providing insights into its architecture and the rationale behind its design. Additionally, we compare our results for a multitask solution with independent single-task performance.

  We present our contribution to the 8th ABAW challenge at CVPR 2025. We tackle valence-arousal estimation, emotion recognition, and facial action unit detection as three independent challenges. Our approach leverages the well-known Dual-Direction Attention Mixed Feature Network (DDAMFN) for all three tasks, achieving results that surpass the proposed baselines.

  Facial affective behavior analysis (FABA) is crucial for understanding human mental states from images. Traditional approaches primarily deploy models to discriminate among discrete emotion categories, and lack the fine granularity and reasoning capability for complex facial behaviors. We introduce an instruction-following dataset for two FABA tasks, emotion and action unit recognition, and a benchmark FABA-Bench with a new metric considering both recognition and generation ability. We also introduce a facial prior expert module with face structure knowledge and a low-rank adaptation module into pre-trained MLLM.

Experimental results on two benchmark VI-ReID datasets show that the proposed method consistently improves state-of-the-art methods by significant margins.
