A video is classified as real or fake by extracting facial features, including facial modalities and facial emotions, and speech features, including speech modalities and speech emotions, from the video. The facial and speech modalities are passed through first and second neural networks, respectively, to generate facial and speech modality embeddings. The facial and speech emotions are passed through third and fourth neural networks, respectively, to generate facial and speech emotion embeddings. A first distance, d, between the facial modality embedding and the speech modality embedding is generated, together with a second distance, d, between the facial emotion embedding and the speech emotion embedding. The video is classified as fake if a sum of the first distance and the second distance exceeds a threshold distance. The networks may be trained using real and fake video pairs for multiple subjects.

System and method for detecting fabricated videos

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for recognizing human emotion in images or video. A method for recognizing perceived human emotion may include receiving a raw input. The raw input may be processed to generate input data corresponding to at least one context. Features from the raw input data may be extracted to obtain a plurality of feature vectors and inputs. The plurality of feature vectors and the inputs may be transmitted to a respective neural network. At least some of the plurality of feature vectors may be fused to obtain a feature encoding. Additional feature encodings may be computed from the plurality of feature vectors via the respective neural network. A multi-label emotion classification of a primary agent may be performed in the raw input based on the feature encoding and the additional feature encodings.

Human emotion recognition in images or video

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for providing multimodal emotion recognition. The method may include receiving raw input from an input source. The method may also include extracting one or more feature vectors from the raw input. The method may further include determining an effectiveness of the one or more feature vectors. Further, the method may include performing, based on the determination, multiplicative fusion processing on the one or more feature vectors. The method may also include predicting, based on results of the multiplicative fusion processing, one or more emotions of the input source.
