Abstract
Mental health is indispensable for effective daily functioning and stress management. Facial expressions may provide vital clues about the mental state of a person as they are universally consistent across cultures. This study intends to detect the emotional variances through facial micro-expressions using facial action units (AUs) to identify probable mental health issues. In addition, convolutional neural networks (CNN) were used to detect and classify the micro-expressions. Further, combinations of AUs were identified for the segmentation of micro-expressions classes using K-means square. Two benchmarked datasets CASME II and SAMM were employed for the training and evaluation of the model. The model achieved an accuracy of 95.62% on CASME II and 93.21% on the SAMM dataset, respectively. Subsequently, a case analysis was done to identify depressive patients using the proposed framework and it attained an accuracy of 92.99%. This experiment revealed the fact that emotions like disgust, sadness, anger, and surprise are the prominent emotions experienced by depressive patients during communication. The findings suggest that leveraging facial action units for micro-expression detection offers a promising approach to mental health diagnostics.

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 it
