Abstract :
Emotion recognition systems could support professionals in a wide range of areas. Several work in emotion recognition has been carried out in the last decades, yet few attention has been payed to cross-culture context emotion recognition. Multimodal emotional expressions from 36 subjects with different cultural backgrounds were collected. In the experiment, participants observed and assessed emotional images in a 5 point positive and negative emotional valence scale. This information was used as ground truth for the recorded information. The dataset was segmented for all the participants and partially labeled for 8 of them, for a total of 160 segments. Recognition of positive and negative emotions was obtained from the dataset suggesting agreement points in expression of emotion between cultures.
