Body-based emotion recognition is important for real-time affective systems, but graph-based skeleton models can be computationally expensive. This paper studies whether lightweight temporal convolutional networks (TCNs) can provide an efficient and interpretable alternative for…
Automatic pain assessment from facial video remains challenging due to the spatial heterogeneity of pain-related facial cues. This study proposes ReFace, a spatial reorganization pipeline that divides facial input into four spatial quadrants before tokenization, rather than proce…
Pain is a complex and pervasive phenomenon affecting a large percentage of the population, and accurate assessment is essential for effective clinical management and intervention. Computational pain recognition systems enable continuous monitoring, support clinical decision-makin…
