Abstract:The creation of listener facial responses aims to simulate interactive communication feedback from a listener during a face-to-face conversation. Our goal is to generate believable videos of listeners' heads that respond authentically to a single speaker by a sequence-to-sequence model with an combination of WaveNet and Long short-term memory network. Our approach focuses on capturing the subtle nuances of listener feedback, ensuring the preservation of individual listener identity while expressing appropriate attitudes and viewpoints. Experiment results show that our method surpasses the baseline models on ViCo benchmark Dataset.
Abstract:Accurate pain assessment is crucial in healthcare for effective diagnosis and treatment; however, traditional methods relying on self-reporting are inadequate for populations unable to communicate their pain. Cutting-edge AI is promising for supporting clinicians in pain recognition using facial video data. In this paper, we enhance pain recognition by employing facial video analysis within a Transformer-based deep learning model. By combining a powerful Masked Autoencoder with a Transformers-based classifier, our model effectively captures pain level indicators through both expressions and micro-expressions. We conducted our experiment on the AI4Pain dataset, which produced promising results that pave the way for innovative healthcare solutions that are both comprehensive and objective.
