Motion Capture Sensor-Based Emotion Recognition Using a Bi-Modular Sequential Neural Network
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Motion capture sensor-based gait emotion recognition is an emerging sub-domain of human emotion recognition. Its applications span a variety of fields including smart home design, border security, robotics, virtual reality, and gaming. In recent years, several deep learning-based approaches have been successful in solving the Gait Emotion Recognition (GER) problem. However, a vast majority of such methods rely on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) with a significant number of model parameters, which lead to model overfitting as well as increased inference time. This paper contributes to the domain of knowledge by proposing a new lightweight bi-modular architecture with handcrafted features that is trained using a RMSprop optimizer and stratified data shuffling. The method is highly effective in correctly inferring human emotions from gait, achieving a micro-mean average precision of 0.97 on the Edinburgh Locomotive Mocap Dataset. It outperforms all recent deep-learning methods, while having the lowest inference time of 16.3 milliseconds per gait sample. This research study is beneficial to applications spanning various fields, such as emotionally aware assistive robotics, adaptive therapy and rehabilitation, and surveillance.

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.
