| contents | This paper presents MMA-MRNNet, a novel deep learning architecture for dynamic multi-output Facial Expression Intensity Estimation (FEIE) from video data. Traditional approaches to this task often rely on complex 3-D CNNs, which require extensive pre-training and assume that facial expressions are uniformly distributed across all frames of a video. These methods struggle to handle videos of varying lengths, often resorting to ad-hoc strategies that either discard valuable information or introduce bias. MMA-MRNNet addresses these challenges through a two-stage process. First, the Multiple Models of Affect (MMA) extractor component is a Multi-Task Learning CNN that concurrently estimates valence-arousal, recognizes basic facial expressions, and detects action units in each frame. These representations are then processed by a Masked RNN component, which captures temporal dependencies and dynamically updates weights according to the true length of the input video, ensuring that only the most relevant features are used for the final prediction. The proposed unimodal non-ensemble learning MMA-MRNNet was evaluated on the Hume-Reaction dataset and demonstrated significantly superior performance, surpassing state-of-the-art methods by a wide margin, regardless of whether they were unimodal, multimodal, or ensemble approaches. Finally, we demonstrated the effectiveness of the MMA component of our proposed method across multiple in-the-wild datasets, where it consistently outperformed all state-of-the-art methods across various metrics. |
