## Abstract (arXiv)

In this work, we describe our method for tackling the valence-arousal estimation challenge from ABAW FG-2020 Competition. The competition organizers provide an in-the-wild Aff-Wild2 dataset for participants to analyze affective behavior in real-life settings. We use MIMAMO Net citedeng2020mimamo model to achieve information about micro-motion and macro-motion for improving video emotion recognition and achieve Concordance Correlation Coefficient (CCC) of 0.415 and 0.511 for valence and arousal on the reselected validation set.
