Bias mitigation remains an open problem, which tackles the correction of a model's disparate performance over different groups defined by particular sensitive attributes (e.g., gender, age, and race). In this work, we design a novel fairness loss function named Multi-Group Parity (MGP) to provide a generalised approach for bias mitigation in personality computing. In contrast to existing works in the literature, MGP is generalised as it features four ‘multiple’ properties (4Mul): multiple tasks, multiple modalities, multiple sensitive attributes, and multi-valued attributes. Moreover, we explore how to incrementally mitigate the biases when more sensitive attributes are taken into consideration sequentially. Towards this problem, we introduce a novel algorithm that utilises an incremental learning framework to mitigate bias against one attribute data at a time without compromising past fairness. Extensive experiments on two large-scale multi-modal personality recognition datasets validate the effectiveness of our approach in achieving superior bias mitigation under the proposed four properties and incremental debiasing settings.","PeriodicalId":13131,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing","volume":"15 4","pages":"2192-2203"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141944196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a sign language emotion recognition method based on semantic and movement features by exploring the relationship between emotion valence and arousal in-depth, called SeMER. The SeMER framework includes a semantic extractor, a movement feature extractor, and an emotion classifier. The contextual relations obtained from the sign language recognition task are added to the semantic extractor as prior knowledge using a transfer learning approach to better acquire the affective polarity of semantics. In the movement feature extractor based on graph convolutional networks, a spatial-temporal adjacency matrix of gestures and node attention matrix are developed to aggregate the emotion-related movement features of intra- and inter-gestures. The proposed emotion classifier maps semantic and movement features to the emotion space. The validated U-shaped distributions of valance and arousal are then used to guide the relationship between them, and improve the accuracy of emotion prediction. In addition, a sign language emotion dataset containing 5 emotions from 18 participants, SE-Sentence, is collected through armbands with built-in surface electromyograph and inertial measurement unit sensors. Experimental results showed that SeMER achieved an accuracy and f1 value of 88% on SE-Sentence.","PeriodicalId":13131,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing","volume":"15 4","pages":"2180-2191"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141944197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address over-smoothing, we propose the bridge graph attention-based graph convolution network (BGAGCN). It bridges previous graph convolution layers to attention coefficients of the final layer by adaptively combining each graph convolution output based on the graph attention network, thereby enhancing feature distinctiveness. Considering that graph-based network primarily focus on local EEG channel relationships, we introduce a transformer for global dependency. Inspired by the neuroscience finding that neural activities of different timescales reflect distinct spatial connectivities, we modify the transformer to a multi-scale transformer (MT) by applying multi-head attention to multichannel EEG signals after 1D convolutions at different scales. MT learns spatial features more elaborately to enhance feature representation ability. By combining BGAGCN and MT, our model BGAGCN-MT achieves state-of-the-art accuracy under subject-dependent and subject-independent protocols across three benchmark EEG emotion datasets (SEED, SEED-IV and DREAMER). Notably, our model effectively addresses over-smoothing in graph neural networks and provides an efficient solution to learning spatial relationships of EEG features at different scales.","PeriodicalId":13131,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing","volume":"15 4","pages":"2042-2054"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140817999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
