AVEC 2012: the continuous audio/visual emotion challenge - an introduction

Published: 22 October 2012 Publication History

Abstract

The second international Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop 2012 (AVEC 2012) is introduced shortly. 34 teams from 12 countries signed up for the Challenge. The SEMAINE database serves for prediction of four-dimensional continuous affect in audio and video. For the eligible participants, final scores for the Fully-Continuous Sub-Challenge ranged between a correlation coefficient between gold standard and prediction of 0.174 and 0.456, and for Word-Level Sub-Challenge between 0.113 and 0.280.
