LaCoVL-FER: Landmark-Guided Contrastive Learning Network with Vision-Language Enhancement for Facial Expression Recognition
Researchers have developed a new network called LaCoVL-FER to improve facial expression recognition, particularly in challenging real-world conditions. This model integrates geometric information from facial landmarks with semantic understanding from a vision-language model like CLIP. The approach uses a landmark-guided encoder for adaptive feature fusion and a vision-language enhancement strategy to refine visual representations and adapt textual prompts, leading to more robust and generalized expression recognition.
