BEE-NET: A deep neural network to identify in-the-wild Bodily Expression of Emotions

arXiv:2402.13955v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this study, we investigate how environmental factors, specifically the scenes and objects involved, can affect the expression of emotions through body language. To this end, we introduce a novel multi-stream deep convolutional neural network named BEE-NET. We also propose a new late fusion strategy that incorporates meta-information on places and objects as prior knowledge in the learning process. Our proposed probabilistic pooling model leverages this information to generate a joint probability distribution of both …
