Apologies for cross-postings Call for challenge participation Fifth Emotion Recognition in the Wild (EmotiW) Challenge 2017 https://sites.google.com/site/emotiwchallenge @ ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction 2017, Glasgow --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fifth Emotion Recognition in the Wild 2017 Challenge consists of multimodal classification challenges, which mimics real-world conditions. Traditionally, emotion recognition has been performed on laboratory controlled data. While undoubtedly worthwhile at the time, such lab controlled data poorly represents the environment and conditions faced in real-world situations. With the increase in the number of video clips online, it is worthwhile to explore the performance of emotion recognition methods that work ‘in the wild’. There are two sub-challenges: audio-video based emotion recognition in videos and group-level emotion recognition in the images (new).
