Analysis
This paper introduces MotivNet, a facial emotion recognition (FER) model designed for real-world application. It addresses the generalization problem of existing FER models by leveraging the Meta-Sapiens foundation model, which is pre-trained on a large scale. The key contribution is achieving competitive performance across diverse datasets without cross-domain training, a common limitation of other approaches. This makes FER more practical for real-world use.
