Frame-Transformer Emotion Classification Network

Abstract

Emotional content is a key ingredient in user-generated videos. However, due to the emotion sparsely expressed in the user-generated video, it is very difficult to analayze emotions in videos. In this paper, we propose a new architecture--Frame-Transformer Emotion Classification Network (FT-EC-net) to solve three highly correlated emotion analysis tasks: emotion recognition, emotion attribution and emotion-oriented summarization. We also contribute a new dataset for emotion attribution task by annotating the ground-truth labels of attribution segments. A comprehensive set of experiments on two datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.
