Facial expression recognition training

Reading facial expressions isn't the only way we understand the emotions of others. We rely on a variety of information, including tone of voice Paulmann and Uskul , body language Aviezer et al , and contextual cues Aguert et al Nevertheless, our ability decode faces is very important, and may be linked with several measures of success and social competence. They tend to perform better academically Kang et al On the flip side, children who have more trouble identifying emotion in faces are more likely to have peer problems and learning difficulties Goodfellow and Nowicki

With the transition of facial expression recognition FER from laboratory-controlled to challenging in-the-wild conditions and the recent success of deep learning techniques in various fields, deep neural networks have increasingly been leveraged to learn discriminative representations for automatic FER. Recent deep FER systems generally focus on two important issues: overfitting caused by a lack of sufficient training data and expression-unrelated variations, such as illumination, head pose and identity bias. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on deep FER, including datasets and algorithms that provide insights into these intrinsic problems. First, we describe the standard pipeline of a deep FER system with the related background knowledge and suggestions of applicable implementations for each stage.

As a speaker coach, what did interest me were her comments on Botox. Whether on camera, on stage presenting, or communicating in a meeting, your facial expressions send messages that are just as important as the content itself. They give you the chance to enhance your point, distract from it, or confuse the heck out of your audience. A flat affect, just like a monotone voice will be interpreted as a lack of passion, whether the message is positive or negative. Facial expressions create dynamism.
