Abstract

Techniques are described that facilitate automatically distinguishing between different expressions of a same or similar emotion. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented is provided that comprises partitioning, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, a data set comprising facial expression data into different clusters of the facial expression data based on one or more distinguishing features respectively associated with the different clusters, wherein the facial expression data reflects facial expressions respectively expressed by people. The computer-implemented method can further comprise performing, by the device, a multi-task learning process to determine a final number of the different clusters for the data set using a multi-task learning process that is dependent on an output of an emotion classification model that classifies emotion types respectively associated with the facial expressions.
