An online emotion recognition classifier using audio-visual modalities and deep reinforcement learning.

An Active Learning Paradigm for Online Audio-Visual Emotion Recognition

This repository contains the official code for developing an online emotion recognition classifier using audio-visual modalities and deep reinforcement learning techniques introduced here.

Combined with corresponding repositories for preprocessing unimodal and multi-modal emotional datasets, like AffectNet, IEMOCAP, RML, BAUM-1, to produce the papers results.

Preprocessing codes for AffectNet, IEMOCAP and RML are provided by the authors, here, here and here, respectively.

Training Strategies

Inputs Format

The params.json sets the training hyper-parameters, the exploited modality from the set {"audio", "visual", "fusion"} and the name of the speaker that is subtracted from the training dataset for evaluation. Note that Leave-One-Speaker-Out and Leave-One-Speakers-Group-Out schemes are adopted. The names of the two files shall be training_data.csv and evaluation_data.csv

The following models are trained through two .csv files, including the paths of the training and evaluation samples, respectively. Those files shall be stored inside ./data/speaker_folder, where speaker_folder shall be given to the "speaker" variable in the params.json file.

Usage

Run python3 main.py train or simply python3 main.py to train the model.

In order to test the model on the validation data run python3 main.py test.

Questions about the implementation.

Nice work.
However, I didn't found the confidence estimation part and REINFORCE algorithms in this repository. It seems that you just implement the audio-visual emotion classification part.
Would you mind making those parts open-sourced?
If I misunderstood something, please feel free to point it out.
