Facial Expression Classification using Fusion of Deep Neural Network in Video for the 3rd ABAW3 Competition

For computers to recognize human emotions, expression classification is an equally important problem in the human-computer interaction area. In the 3rd Affective Behavior Analysis In-The-Wild competition, the task of expression classification includes eight classes with six basic expressions of human faces from videos. In this paper, we employ a transformer mechanism to encode the robust representation from the backbone. Fusion of the robust representations plays an important role in the expression classification task. Our approach achieves 30.35% and 28.60% for the F1 score on the validation set and the test set, respectively. This result shows the effectiveness of the proposed architecture based on the Aff-Wild2 dataset and our team archives 5th for the expression classification task in the 3rd Affective Behavior Analysis In-The-Wild competition.
