Deep Learning-based Facial Expression Recognition

Our project investigates how artificial intelligence can better understand human emotions by using multimodal deep learning. The inspiration comes from how humans themselves perceive emotions: we rely on several senses at once, such as sight, hearing, and touch. In the same way, this research com...
