Facial Expression Recognition-You Only Look Once-Neighborhood Coordinate Attention Mamba: Facial Expression Detection and Classification Based on Neighbor and Coordinates Attention... by Cheng Peng, Mingqi Sun, Kun Zou, Bowen Zhang, Genan Dai, Ah Chung Tsoi

“…The resulting FER-YOLO-NCAMamba model, when applied to two unaligned FER benchmark datasets, RAF-DB and SFEW, obtains significantly improved mean average precision (mAP) scores when compared with those obtained by other state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, in ablation studies, it is found that the NCA module is relatively more important than the Visual State Space (VSS), a version of using Mamba for image processing, and in visualization studies using the grad-CAM method, it reveals that regions around the nose tip are critical to recognizing the expression; if it is too large, it may lead to erroneous prediction, while a small focused region would lead to correct recognition; this may explain why FER of unaligned faces is such a challenging problem.…”
