Abstract:

Microexpression can manifest the real mood of humans, which has been widely concerned in clinical diagnosis and depression analysis. To solve the problem of missing discriminative spatiotemporal features in a small data set caused by the short duration and subtle movement changes of microexpression, we present a dual-stream spatiotemporal attention network (DSTAN) that integrates dual-stream spatiotemporal network and attention mechanism to capture the deformation features and spatiotemporal features of microexpression in the case of small samples. The Spatiotemporal networks in DSTAN are based on two lightweight networks, namely, the spatiotemporal appearance network (STAN) learning the appearance features from the microexpression sequences and the spatiotemporal motion network (STMN) learning the motion features from optical flow sequences. To focus on the discriminative motion areas of microexpression, we construct a novel attention mechanism for the spatial model of STAN and STMN, including a multiscale kernel spatial attention mechanism and global dual-pool channel attention mechanism. To obtain the importance of each frame in the microexpression sequence, we design a temporal attention mechanism for the temporal model of STAN and STMN to form spatiotemporal appearance network-attention (STAN-A) and spatiotemporal motion network-attention (STMN-A), which can adaptively perform dynamic feature refinement. Finally, the feature concatenate-SVM method is used to integrate STAN-A and STMN-A to a novel network, DSTAN. The extensive experiments on three small spontaneous microexpression data sets of SMIC, CASME, and CASME II demonstrate the proposed DSTAN can effectively cope with the recognition of microexpressions.

Abstract:

A micro-expression is defined as an uncontrollable muscular movement shown on the face of humans when one is trying to conceal or repress his true emotions. Many researchers have applied the deep learning framework to micro-expression recognition in recent years. However, few have introduced the human visual attention mechanism to micro-expression recognition. In this study, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) spatiotemporal convolutional neural network with the convolutional block attention module (CBAM) for micro-expression recognition. First image sequences were input to a medium-sized convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract visual features. Afterwards, it learned to allocate the feature weights in an adaptive manner with the help of a convolutional block attention module. The method was testified in spontaneous micro-expression databases (Chinese Academy of Sciences Micro-expression II (CASME II), Spontaneous Micro-expression Database (SMIC)). The experimental results show that the 3D CNN with convolutional block attention module outperformed other algorithms in micro-expression recognition.

Abstract:

The emotional changes in facial micro-expressions are combinations of action units. The researchers have revealed that action units can be used as additional auxiliary data to improve facial micro-expression recognition. Most of the researchers attempt to fuse image features and action unit information. However, these works ignore the impact of action units on the facial image feature extraction process. Therefore, this paper proposes a local detail feature enhancement model based on a multimodal dynamic attention fusion network (MADFN) method for micro-expression recognition. This method uses a masked autoencoder based on learnable class tokens to remove local areas with low emotional expression ability in micro-expression images. Then, we utilize the action unit dynamic fusion module to fuse action unit representation to improve the potential representation ability of image features. The state-of-the-art performance of our proposed model is evaluated and verified on SMIC, CASME II, SAMM, and their combined 3DB-Combined datasets. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed model achieved competitive performance with accuracy rates of 81.71%, 82.11%, and 77.21% on SMIC, CASME II, and SAMM datasets, respectively, that show the MADFN model can help to improve the discrimination of facial image emotional features.

Abstract:

Abstract To address the problems of low accuracy of existing deep learning-based micro-expression recognition models, numerous network parameters, and the difficulty of mobile deployment of micro-expression recognition models, this paper proposes DCBAM-EfficientNet, a micro-expression recognition model that uses the lightweight network EfficientNet as the backbone network and incorporates the attention module. The network can guarantee the accuracy of micro-expression recognition with relatively few network parameters. The attention mechanism allows the more expressive micro-expression features to be highlighted, and the CBAM attention is improved into a DCBAM model, where the large convolution kernel in the spatial attention module of CBAM is replaced by a dilated convolution with the same receptive field, reducing the network parameters while better preserving the spatial features of the image. The integration of the DCBAM model into the main structure of EfficientNet enables better integration of contextual information. Data enhancement is used to process the micro-expression dataset to decrease the occurrence of overfitting and improve the generalization ability of the model. The results demonstrate that the optimized model DCBAM-EfficientNet can effectively promote the recognition accuracy of micro-expressions, significantly reduce the quantity and volume of model parameters, and provide a reference for the deployment of mobile micro-expression recognition models.

Abstract:

Micro-expression recognition (MER) is challenging due to the difficulty of capturing the instantaneous and subtle motion changes of micro-expressions (MEs). Early works based on hand-crafted features extracted from prior knowledge showed some promising results, but have recently been replaced by deep learning methods based on the attention mechanism. However, with limited ME sample sizes, features extracted by these methods lack discriminative ME representations, in yet-to-be improved MER performance. This paper proposes the Dual-branch Attention Network (Dual-ATME) for MER to address the problem of ineffective single-scale features representing MEs. Specifically, Dual-ATME consists of two components: Hand-crafted Attention Region Selection (HARS) and Automated Attention Region Selection (AARS). HARS uses prior knowledge to manually extract features from regions of interest (ROIs). Meanwhile, AARS is based on attention mechanisms and extracts hidden information from data automatically. Finally, through similarity comparison and feature fusion, the dual-scale features could be used to learn ME representations effectively. Experiments on spontaneous ME datasets (including CASME II, SAMM, SMIC) and their composite dataset, MEGC2019-CD, showed that Dual-ATME achieves better, or more competitive, performance than the state-of-the-art MER methods.

Abstract:

On public benchmarks, current macro facial expression recognition technologies have achieved significant success. However, in real-life scenarios, individuals may attempt to conceal their true emotions. Conventional expression recognition often overlooks subtle facial changes, necessitating more fine-grained micro-expression recognition techniques. Different with prevalent facial expressions, weak intensity and short duration are the two main obstacles for perceiving and interpreting a micro-expression correctly. Meanwhile, correlations between pixels of visual data in spatial and channel dimensions are ignored in most existing methods. In this paper, we propose a novel network structure, the Attention-based Spatiotemporal-aware network (ASTNet), for micro-expression recognition. In ASTNet, we combine ResNet and ConvLSTM as a holistic framework (ResNet-ConvLSTM) to extract the spatial and temporal features simultaneously. Moreover, we innovatively integrate two level attention mechanisms, channel-level attention and spatial-level attention, into the ResNet-ConvLSTM. Channel-level attention is used to discriminate the importance of different channels because the contributions for the overall presentation of micro-expression vary between channels. Spatial-level attention is leveraged to dynamically estimate weights for different regions due to the diversity of regions’ reflections to micro-expression. Extensive experiments conducted on two benchmark datasets demonstrate that ASTNet achieves performance improvements of 4.25–16.02% and 0.79–12.93% over several state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract:

The rapid development of the Internet gives birth to massive data. These data have the characteristics of multiple types, low density, and fast transmission speed. As one of the products of the era of big data, micro-blog provides users with a highly interactive platform. In order to explore the value and sentiment contained in micro-blog comment texts, and solve the problem of semantic loss and over-reliance on manual work in traditional text sentiment analysis, this paper proposes a deep learning model based on Attention-BiLSTM. In the embedding layer, the CBOW method of Word2vec is used to transform the text data into word vectors, and the attention mechanism is integrated to dynamically weight the input word vectors. Secondly, BiLSTM is used to extract text features, then fuse them in concat layer. After that the classification is realized by Softmax whose results of the output text are positive or negative. Finally, by comparing with TextCNN, LSTM and BiLSTM, the result shows that the Attention-BiLSTM model does have better classification effect, strong generalization and practicability.

Abstract:

With the rapid advancement of technology, satellite and drone technologies have had significant impacts on various fields, creating both opportunities and challenges. In areas like the military, urban planning, and environmental monitoring, the application of remote sensing technology is paramount. However, due to the unique characteristics of remote sensing images, such as high resolution, large-scale scenes, and small, densely packed targets, remote sensing object detection faces numerous technical challenges. Traditional detection methods are inadequate for effectively detecting small targets, rendering the accurate and efficient detection of objects in complex remote sensing images a pressing issue. Current detection techniques fall short in accurately detecting small targets compared to medium and large ones, primarily due to limited feature information, insufficient contextual data, and poor localization capabilities for small targets. In response, we propose an innovative detection method. Unlike previous approaches that often focused solely on either local or contextual information, we introduce a novel Global and Local Attention Mechanism (GAL), providing an in-depth modeling method for input images. Our method integrates fine-grained local feature analysis with global contextual information processing. The local attention concentrates on details and spatial relationships within local windows, enabling the model to recognize intricate details in complex images. Meanwhile, the global attention addresses the entire image’s global information, capturing overarching patterns and structures, thus enhancing the model’s high-level semantic understanding. Ultimately, a specific mechanism fuses local details with global context, allowing the model to consider both aspects for a more precise and comprehensive interpretation of images. Furthermore, we have developed a multi-head prediction module that leverages semantic information at various scales to capture the multi-scale characteristics of remote sensing targets. Adding decoupled prediction heads aims to improve the accuracy and robustness of target detection. Additionally, we have innovatively designed the Ziou loss function, an advanced loss calculation, to enhance the model’s precision in small target localization, thereby boosting its overall performance in small target detection. Experimental results on the Visdrone2019 and DOTA datasets demonstrate that our method significantly surpasses traditional methods in detecting small targets in remote sensing imagery.

Abstract:

Facial micro expressions are brief, spontaneous, and crucial emotions deep inside the mind, reflecting the actual thoughts for that moment. Humans can cover their emotions on a large scale, but their actual intentions and emotions can be extracted at a micro-level. Micro expressions are organic when compared with macro expressions, posing a challenge to both humans, as well as machines, to identify. In recent years, detection of facial expressions are widely used in commercial complexes, hotels, restaurants, psychology, security, offices, and education institutes. The aim and motivation of this paper are to provide an end-to-end architecture that accurately detects the actual expressions at the micro-scale features. However, the main research is to provide an analysis of the specific parts that are crucial for detecting the micro expressions from a face. Many states of the art approaches have been trained on the micro facial expressions and compared with our proposed Lossless Attention Residual Network (LARNet) approach. However, the main research on this is to provide analysis on the specific parts that are crucial for detecting the micro expressions from a face. Many CNN-based approaches extracts the features at local level which digs much deeper into the face pixels. However, the spatial and temporal information extracted from the face is encoded in LARNet for a feature fusion extraction on specific crucial locations, such as nose, cheeks, mouth, and eyes regions. LARNet outperforms the state-of-the-art methods with a slight margin by accurately detecting facial micro expressions in real-time. Lastly, the proposed LARNet becomes accurate and better by training with more annotated data.

We do so by integrating probe-caught sampling methods, signal detection theory, and multilevel modeling of cognitive-experimental laboratory data among daily smokers ( N = 75) known to exhibit biased attentional processing of reward-related (drug) cues in addiction. We found (a) evidence of the capacity for and individual differences in MAB; (b) that momentary MAB was most likely observed in the event of the most extreme micro-expressions of biased attentional processing; and (c) that momentary micro-expressions of biased attention without MAB were more likely followed by attentional dysregulation, whereas momentary micro-expressions of biased attention with MAB were more likely followed by more balanced attentional expression or greater attentional control. We discuss the implications for basic and clinical science of meta-awareness.

Abstract:

Micro-expressions are the small, brief facial expression changes that humans momentarily show during emotional experiences, and their data annotation is complicated, which leads to the scarcity of micro-expression data. To extract salient and distinguishing features from a limited dataset, we propose an attention-based multi-scale, multi-modal, multi-branch flow network to thoroughly learn the motion information of micro-expressions by exploiting the attention mechanism and the complementary properties between different optical flow information. First, we extract optical flow information (horizontal optical flow, vertical optical flow, and optical strain) based on the onset and apex frames of micro-expression videos, and each branch learns one kind of optical flow information separately. Second, we propose a multi-scale fusion module to extract more prosperous and more stable feature expressions using spatial attention to focus on locally important information at each scale. Then, we design a multi-optical flow feature reweighting module to adaptively select features for each optical flow separately by channel attention. Finally, to better integrate the information of the three branches and to alleviate the problem of uneven distribution of micro-expression samples, we introduce a logarithmically adjusted prior knowledge weighting loss. This loss function weights the prediction scores of samples from different categories to mitigate the negative impact of category imbalance during the classification process. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated through extensive experiments and feature visualization on three benchmark datasets (CASMEII, SAMM, and SMIC), and its performance is comparable to that of state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract:

A micro-expression (ME), as a spontaneous facial expression, usually occurs instantaneously and is difficult to disguise after an emotion-evoking event. Numerous convolutional neural network (CNN)-based models have been widely explored to recognize MEs for their strong local feature representation ability on images. However, the main drawback of the current methods is their inability to fully extracting holistic contextual information from ME images. To achieve efficient ME learning representation from diverse perspectives, this paper uses Transformer variants as the main backbone and the dual-branch architecture as the main framework to extract meaningful multi-modal contextual features for ME recognition (MER). The first branch leverages an optical flow operator to facilitate the motion information extraction between ME sequences, and the corresponding optical flow maps are fed into the Swin Transformer to acquire motion–spatial representation. The second branch directly sends the apex frame in one ME clip to Mobile ViT (Vision Transformer), which can capture the local–global features of MEs. More importantly, to achieve the optimal feature stream fusion, a CAB (cross attention block) is designed to interact the feature extracted by each branch for adaptive learning fusion. The extensive experimental comparisons on three publicly available ME benchmarks show that the proposed method outperforms the existing MER methods and achieves an accuracy of 81.6% on the combined database.

Abstract:

Online courses are prevalent around the world, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Long hours of highly demanding online learning can lead to mental fatigue and cognitive depletion. According to Attention Restoration Theory, ‘being away’ or a mental shift could be an important strategy to allow a person to recover from the cognitive overload. The present study aimed to test the interleaving strategy as a mental shift method to help sustain students’ online learning attention and to improve learning outcomes. A total of 81 seventh-grade Chinese students were randomly assigned to four learning conditions: blocked (by subject matter) micro-lectures with auditory textual information (B-A condition), blocked (by subject matter) micro-lectures with visual textual information (B-V condition), interleaved (by subject matter) micro-lectures with auditory textual information (I-A condition), and interleaved micro-lectures by both perceptual modality and subject matter (I-all condition). We collected self-reported data on subjective cognitive load (SCL) and attention level, EEG data during the 40 min of online learning, and test results to assess learning outcomes. The results showed that the I-all condition showed the best overall outcomes (best performance, low SCL, and high attention). This study suggests that interleaving by both subject matter and perceptual modality should be preferred in scheduling and planning online classes.

Abstract:

The energy load data in the micro-energy network are a time series with sequential and nonlinear characteristics. This paper proposes a model based on the encode-decode architecture and ConvLSTM for multi-scale prediction of multi-energy loads in the micro-energy network. We apply ConvLSTM, LSTM, attention mechanism and multi-task learning concepts to construct a model specifically for processing the energy load forecasting of the micro-energy network. In this paper, ConvLSTM is used to encode the input time series. The attention mechanism is used to assign different weights to the features, which are subsequently decoded by the decoder LSTM layer. Finally, the fully connected layer interprets the output. This model is applied to forecast the multi-energy load data of the micro-energy network in a certain area of Northwest China. The test results prove that our model is convergent, and the evaluation index value of the model is better than that of the multi-task FC-LSTM and the single-task FC-LSTM. In particular, the application of the attention mechanism makes the model converge faster and with higher precision.

Abstract:

In order to improve the accuracy and speed of micro-expressions, a modified model based on densenet and eca is proposed. Microfacial expression is a brief, weak facial change, its characteristics are similar, dense, difficult to extract and identify, and the improved model can be adapted to the characteristics and location of the interest. In particular, the eca attention module was added after the densenet model, using the densenet network to extract the rich characteristics of micro-expressions, and the eca attention module to recalibrate the feature channel and focus on the more subtle expression changes. In order to verify the validity of this method, the experiment was conducted in the micro-emotive data set, and compared with the resnet network and the densenet network, the experimental results showed that the improved model significantly improved the performance of micro-expression recognition, and had strong generalized ability and robustness.

Abstract:

This paper examines the appropriate role of human performance micro-models in simulations of human-machine system operations. Requirements for general human micro-models are considered relative to the objectives of simulation studies, the conditions under which simulations are constructed and used, the status of human performance data bases and models, and the features provided with general-purpose simulation software. This investigation focuses particularly on a new simulation tool for simulating human-machine systems; it is known as the Human Operator Simulator – Version V (HOS-V). A general design principle of HOS-V has been to provide embedded human performance micro-models for the basic performance processes that seem most pervasive and interactive with other processes. These include representations for processes of body movement, cognition, and attention. Key to these representations are the substructures in each area. Body movement models describe locations of body parts and constraints on their movement. Cognition models describe how the human processes information through perception, memory, decision-making, and action initiation. The attention model describes how a limited attentional resource is allocated to the various body movement and cognition processes, each of which has a defined attentional requirement. Plans for implementation of micro-model components of HOS-V are discussed.

Abstract:

Micro-milling has found extensive applications in machining components with thin-walled microstructures, such as terahertz slow-wave structures, microfluidic chips, and micro-molds. Due to the influence of size effects, micro-milling exhibits higher specific energy consumption compared with traditional milling, implying that more energy is consumed to remove a unit volume of material, particularly in challenging-to-machine materials like Ti-6Al-4V. Historically, research on parameter optimization for micro-milling has predominantly focused on enhancing machining quality and efficiency, with limited attention given to energy efficiency. However, in the context of the “double carbon” strategy, energy conservation and emissions reduction have garnered significant attention in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, this paper proposes a micro-milling parameter-based power consumption model. Based on this, a specific energy consumption model can be obtained. Moreover, evolutionary algorithms are utilized for the optimization of micro-milling parameters, which aims to achieve comprehensive enhancements in both machinability and sustainability. The optimization objectives encompass improving surface quality, dimensional accuracy, material removal rate, and specific energy consumption during the micro-milling process for thin-walled micro-structures. Among them, NSGA-III achieves the best optimization results. Under conditions in which cutting energy consumption and processing efficiency are very close, the optimization outcomes based on NSGA-III lead to the best machining quality, including the minimum surface roughness and dimensional errors, and the largest surface fractal dimension. The optimal combination of micro-milling parameters is n = 28,800 rpm, fz = 2.6 μm/t, and ap = 62 μm.

Abstract:

The increasing use of micro-blogging as a marketing tool has increased research attention on usage and business value of enterprise micro-blogging. Based on research on information system (IS) usage and resource-based view (RBV) theory, this study develops a model to reveal the mechanism of business value creation of enterprise micro-blogging. The model consists of metrics on micro-blogging usage, micro-blogging operational performance, marketing capability, and firm performance. Questionnaires were distributed to firms that use micro-blogging. This study collects 241 valid responses for empirical analysis. The results suggest that the use of enterprise micro-blogging improves operational performance of enterprise micro-blogging directly and indirectly by increasing marketing capability, while operational performance of enterprise micro-blogging significantly affects firm performance.

Abstract:

Background Micro-expression is a kind of expression produced by people spontaneously and unconsciously when receiving stimulus. It has the characteristics of low intensity and short duration. Moreover, it cannot be controlled and disguised. Thus, micro-expression can objectively reflect people’s real emotional states. Therefore, automatic recognition of micro-expressions can help machines better understand the users’ emotion, which can promote human-computer interaction. What’s more, micro-expression recognition has a wide range of applications in fields like security systems and psychological treatment. Nowadays, thanks to the development of artificial intelligence, most micro-expression recognition algorithms are based on deep learning. The features extracted by deep learning model from the micro-expression video sequences mainly contain facial motion feature information and identity feature information. However, in micro-expression recognition tasks, the motions of facial muscles are subtle. As a result, the recognition can be easily interfered by identity feature information. Methods To solve the above problem, a micro-expression recognition algorithm which decouples facial motion features and identity features is proposed in this paper. A Micro-Expression Motion Information Features Extraction Network (MENet) and an Identity Information Features Extraction Network (IDNet) are designed. By adding a Diverse Attention Operation (DAO) module and constructing divergence loss function in MENet, facial motion features can be effectively extracted. Global attention operations are used in IDNet to extract identity features. A Mutual Information Neural Estimator (MINE) is utilized to decouple facial motion features and identity features, which can help the model obtain more discriminative micro-expression features. Results Experiments on the SDU, MMEW, SAMM and CASME II datasets were conducted, which achieved competitive results and proved the superiority of the proposed algorithm.
