Beyond Universality: The GCC-FER Dataset and Culture-Aware Adaptation for Dynamic Facial Expression Recognition 文章

arXiv:2606.07063v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic Facial Expression Recognition (DFER) is a key enabling technology in affective computing, human-computer interaction, and intelligent multimedia systems. Despite the significant influence of cultural nuances on FER performance, most existing FER systems assume that emotional expressions are universally consistent across populations. This variation can be attributed to systematic differences in facial muscle activation patterns across cultures. A major challenge in advancing cross-cultural FER lies in the scarcity of culturally diverse benchmark datasets. To address this, a new hybrid multicultural video dataset termed Global Cross-Cultural Facial Expression Recognition (GCC-FER) is introduced.
