In this task, facial expression recognition (FER) methods aim to classify the correct expression category from a diverse background, but there are several challenges. First, to adapt the model to in-the-wild scenarios, we use the knowledge from pre-trained large-scale face recognition data. Second, we propose an ensemble model with a convolution neural network (CNN), a CNN-recurrent neural network (CNN-RNN), and a CNN-Transformer (CNN-Transformer), to incorporate both spatial and temporal information. Our ensemble model achieved F1 as 0.4133, accuracy as 0.6216 and final metric as 0.4821 on the validation set.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.05160v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.05160v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"spatial-and-temporal-networks-for-facial","repo_url":"https://github.com/xinqi-fan/ABAW2021","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"face-recognition","task_name":"Face Recognition"},{"task_slug":"facial-expression-recognition-1","task_name":"Facial Expression Recognition"},{"task_slug":"facial-expression-recognition","task_name":"Facial Expression Recognition (FER)"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
