Title
Identity-Aware Convolutional Neural Network for Facial Expression Recognition
Abstract
Facial expression recognition suffers under realworldconditions, especially on unseen subjects due to highinter-subject variations. To alleviate variations introduced bypersonal attributes and achieve better facial expression recognitionperformance, a novel identity-aware convolutional neuralnetwork (IACNN) is proposed. In particular, a CNN with a newarchitecture is employed as individual streams of a bi-streamidentity-aware network. An expression-sensitive contrastive lossis developed to measure the expression similarity to ensure thefeatures learned by the network are invariant to expressionvariations. More importantly, an identity-sensitive contrastiveloss is proposed to learn identity-related information from identitylabels to achieve identity-invariant expression recognition.Extensive experiments on three public databases including aspontaneous facial expression database have shown that theproposed IACNN achieves promising results in real world.
