FEELS: a full-spectrum enhanced emotion learning system for assisting individuals with autism spectrum disorder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder thatcan lead to a variety of social and communication challenges, andindividuals with ASD are at a higher risk of loneliness and depres-sion as a result of the disconnect and isolation they may feel fromthe rest of society as a result of their ASD. Interventions targetingimproved emotional detection has been clinically shown to be quitepromising; however, there are considerable barriers that make itchallenging to incorporate emotion detection within daily life sce-narios. Motivated by the need to fill this gap, we introduce theconcept of FEELS, a full-spectrum enhanced emotion learning sys-tem which could be useful as a tool to assist individuals with ASD.FEELS facilitates enhanced emotion detection by capturing a livevideo stream of individuals in real-time, then leveraging deep con-volutional neural networks to detect facial landmarks and a customhybrid neural network consisting of a time distributed feed-forwardneural network and a LTSM neural network to determine the emo-tional state of the individuals based on a sequence of facial land-marks over time. The feasibility of such an approach was exploredthrough the construction of a proof-of-concept FEELS system thatcan detect between five different basic emotional states: neutral,sad, happy, surprise, and anger. Future work will include extend-ing the proof-of-concept FEELS system to detect more emotionalstates and evaluate the system in more natural settings.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
