FER+ (Face Expression Recognition Plus dataset)

Introduced by Emad Barsoum et al. in Training Deep Networks for Facial Expression Recognition with Crowd-Sourced Label Distribution1 Jan 2016 archive 2025-07-28

The FER+ dataset is an extension of the original FER dataset, where the images have been re-labelled into one of 8 emotion types: neutral, happiness, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, and contempt.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

All 3 leaderboards whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

15 shown of 15 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 124. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
