Facial Affective Behavior Analysis with Instruction Tuning

Li, Yifan, Dao, Anh, Bao, Wentao et al.

Understand

Facial affective behavior analysis (FABA) is crucial for understanding human mental states from images.

  • However, traditional approaches primarily deploy models to discriminate among discrete emotion categories, and lack the fine granularity and reasoning capability for complex facial behaviors.
  • The advent of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has been proven successful in general visual understanding tasks.
  • However, directly harnessing MLLMs for FABA is challenging due to the scarcity of datasets and benchmarks, neglecting facial prior knowledge, and low training efficiency.
