Multi-modal Emotion Estimation for in-the-wild Videos
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
In this paper, we briefly introduce our submission to the Valence-Arousal Estimation Challenge of the 3rd Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) competition. Our method utilizes the multi-modal information, i.e., the visual and audio information, and employs a temporal encoder to model the temporal context in the videos. Besides, a smooth processor is applied to get more reasonable predictions, and a model ensemble strategy is used to improve the performance of our proposed method. The experiment results show that our method achieves 65.55% ccc for valence and 70.88% ccc for arousal on the validation set of the Aff-Wild2 dataset, which prove the effectiveness of our proposed method.
