Federated Learning of Socially Appropriate Agent Behaviours in Simulated Home Environments

1 code implementation12 Mar 2024 Saksham Checker, Nikhil Churamani, Hatice Gunes

In this paper, we present a novel FL benchmark that evaluates different strategies, using multi-label regression objectives, where each client individually learns to predict the social appropriateness of different robot actions while also sharing their learning with others.

ReactFace: Multiple Appropriate Facial Reaction Generation in Dyadic Interactions

1 code implementation25 May 2023 Cheng Luo, Siyang Song, Weicheng Xie, Micol Spitale, Linlin Shen, Hatice Gunes

ReactFace generates multiple different but appropriate photo-realistic human facial reactions by (i) learning an appropriate facial reaction distribution representing multiple appropriate facial reactions; and (ii) synchronizing the generated facial reactions with the speaker's verbal and non-verbal behaviours at each time stamp, resulting in realistic 2D facial reaction sequences.

Reversible Graph Neural Network-based Reaction Distribution Learning for Multiple Appropriate Facial Reactions Generation

1 code implementation24 May 2023 Tong Xu, Micol Spitale, Hao Tang, Lu Liu, Hatice Gunes, Siyang Song

This means that we approach this problem by considering the generation of a distribution of the listener's appropriate facial reactions instead of multiple different appropriate facial reactions, i. e., 'many' appropriate facial reaction labels are summarised as 'one' distribution label during training.

Learning Multi-dimensional Edge Feature-based AU Relation Graph for Facial Action Unit Recognition

2 code implementations2 May 2022 Cheng Luo, Siyang Song, Weicheng Xie, Linlin Shen, Hatice Gunes

While the relationship between a pair of AUs can be complex and unique, existing approaches fail to specifically and explicitly represent such cues for each pair of AUs in each facial display.

Two-stage Temporal Modelling Framework for Video-based Depression Recognition using Graph Representation

no code implementations30 Nov 2021 Jiaqi Xu, Siyang Song, Keerthy Kusumam, Hatice Gunes, Michel Valstar

The short-term depressive behaviour modelling stage first deep learns depression-related facial behavioural features from multiple short temporal scales, where a Depression Feature Enhancement (DFE) module is proposed to enhance the depression-related clues for all temporal scales and remove non-depression noises.

Inferring User Facial Affect in Work-like Settings

no code implementations22 Nov 2021 Chaudhary Muhammad Aqdus Ilyas, Siyang Song, Hatice Gunes

Unlike the six basic emotions of happiness, sadness, fear, anger, disgust and surprise, modelling and predicting dimensional affect in terms of valence (positivity - negativity) and arousal (intensity) has proven to be more flexible, applicable and useful for naturalistic and real-world settings.
