AffectNet (burak yılmaz)

Introduced by Ali Mollahosseini et al. in AffectNet: A Database for Facial Expression, Valence, and Arousal Computing in the Wild1 Jan 2019 archive 2025-07-28

AffectNet is a large facial expression dataset with around 0.4 million images manually labeled for the presence of eight (neutral, happy, angry, sad, fear, surprise, disgust, contempt) facial expressions along with the intensity of valence and arousal.

30 shown of 41 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 323. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
