contents Facial expression recognition has gained significance as a means of imparting social robots with the capacity to discern the emotional states of users. The use of social robotics includes a variety of settings, including homes, nursing homes or daycare centers, serving to a wide range of users. Remarkable performance has been achieved by deep learning approaches, however, its direct use for recognizing facial expressions in individuals with intellectual disabilities has not been yet studied in the literature, to the best of our knowledge. To address this objective, we train a set of 12 convolutional neural networks in different approaches, including an ensemble of datasets without individuals with intellectual disabilities and a dataset featuring such individuals. Our examination of the outcomes, both the performance and the important image regions for the models, reveals significant distinctions in facial expressions between individuals with and without intellectual disabilities, as well as among individuals with intellectual disabilities. Remarkably, our findings show the need of facial expression recognition within this population through tailored user-specific training methodologies, which enable the models to effectively address the unique expressions of each user.
