Human emotion recognition plays an important role in human-computer interaction. In this paper, we present our approach to the Valence-Arousal (VA) Estimation Challenge, Expression (Expr) Classification Challenge, and Action Unit (AU) Detection Challenge of the 5th Workshop and Competition on Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW). Specifically, we propose a novel multi-modal fusion model that leverages Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCN) and Transformer to enhance the performance of continuous emotion recognition. Our model aims to effectively integrate visual and audio information for improved accuracy in recognizing emotions. Our model outperforms the baseline and ranks 3 in the Expression Classification challenge.

Human emotion recognition holds a pivotal role in facilitating seamless human-computer interaction. This paper delineates our methodology in tackling the Valence-Arousal (VA) Estimation Challenge, Expression (Expr) Classification Challenge, and Action Unit (AU) Detection Challenge within the ambit of the 6th Workshop and Competition on Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW). Our study advocates a novel approach aimed at refining continuous emotion recognition. We achieve this by initially harnessing pre-training with Masked Autoencoders (MAE) on facial datasets, followed by fine-tuning on the aff-wild2 dataset annotated with expression (Expr) labels. The pre-trained model serves as an adept visual feature extractor, thereby enhancing the model's robustness. Furthermore, we bolster the performance of continuous emotion recognition by integrating Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) modules and Transformer Encoder modules into our framework.
