Report Abstract:

Thanks to the revival and development of deep convolutional neural networks, human-centered visual perception computing, especially face recognition, has made a leap forward in the past 10 years. This report will introduce the new opportunities brought by computer vision for measuring or assessing human emotions, affections, and other psychological perception tasks in the "post-face recognition era". The report will focus on the research progress of the VIPL research group at the Institute of Computing in the past two years in areas such as expression recognition, facial action (AU) detection, gaze estimation and tracking, especially how to design self-supervised learning loss functions to use larger scale unlabeled data in response to the severe lack of labeled data in this field, and discuss the challenges and future development trends in related fields.
