• Abstract: This study takes a preliminary step toward teaching computers to recognize human emotions through Facial Emotion Recognition (FER). Transfer learning is applied using ResNeXt, EfficientNet models, and an ArcFace model originally trained on the facial verification task, leveraging the AffectNet database, a collection of human face images annotated with corresponding emotions. The findings highlight the value of congruent domain transfer learning, the challenges posed by imbalanced datasets in learning facial emotion patterns, and the effectiveness of pairwise learning in addressing class imbalances to enhance model performance on the FER task.

  The proposed method, emotion-centered generative replay (ECgr), tackles this challenge by integrating synthetic images from generative adversarial networks. ECgr incorporates a quality assurance algorithm to ensure the fidelity of generated images. The experimental results on four diverse facial expression datasets demonstrate that incorporating images generated by our pseudo-rehearsal method enhances training on the targeted dataset and the source dataset.

PF-ViT utilizes vanilla Vision Transformers, and its components are pre-trained as Masked Autoencoders on a large facial expression dataset.

To our aim, we use a ResNet-like architecture, equipped with Squeeze-and-Excitation blocks, trained on the Affect-in-the-Wild 2 dataset.

  Current state-of-the-art models for automatic Facial Expression Recognition (FER) are based on very deep neural networks that are effective but rather expensive to train. We formalize the FaceChannel, a light-weight neural network that has much fewer parameters than common deep neural networks. We demonstrate how our model achieves a comparable, if not better, performance to the current state-of-the-art in FER.

Firstly, a facial expression synthesis generative adversarial network (FESGAN) is pre-trained to generate facial images with different facial expressions. In order to alleviate the problem of data bias between the real images and the synthetic images, we propose an intra-class loss with a novel real data-guided back-propagation (RDBP) algorithm.
