• Abstract: Understanding affective dynamics in real-world social systems is fundamental to modeling and analyzing human-human interactions in complex environments. Group affect emerges from intertwined human-human interactions, contextual influences, and behavioral cues, making its quantitative modeling a challenging computational social systems problem. However, computational modeling of group affect in in-the-wild scenarios remains challenging due to limited large-scale annotated datasets and the inherent complexity of multimodal social interactions shaped by contextual and behavioral variability. The lack of comprehensive datasets annotated with multimodal and contextual information further limits advances in the field. To address this, we introduce the Group Affect from ViDeos (GAViD) dataset, comprising 5091 video clips with multimodal data (video, audio and context), annotated with ternary valence and discrete emotion labels and enriched with VideoGPT-generated contextual metadata and human-annotated action cues. We also present Context-Aware Group Affect Recognition Network (CAGNet) for multimodal context-aware group affect recognition. CAGNet achieves 63.20\% test accuracy on GAViD, comparable to state-of-the-art performance. The dataset and code are available at github.com/deepakkumar-iitr/GAViD.

  Computer vision applications rely on learning-based perception modules parameterized with neural networks for tasks like object detection. These modules frequently have low expected error overall but high error on atypical groups of data due to biases inherent in the training process. Our main contribution is a pseudo-automatic method to discover such groups in foresight by performing causal interventions on simulated scenes.

  We consider the problem of Human-Object Interaction (HOI) Detection, which aims to locate and recognize HOI instances in the form of human, action, object> in images. We argue that multi-level consistencies among objects, actions and interactions are strong cues for generating semantic representations of rare or previously unseen HOIs. Our model takes visual features of candidate human-object pairs and word embeddings of HOI labels as inputs, maps them into visual-semantic joint embedding space and obtains detection results by measuring their similarities.
