New ensemble method boosts body-motion emotion recognition accuracy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a method for classifying emotions from body motion using an ensemble of eleven models, achieving a Macro-F1 score of 36.80%. This approach significantly outperforms a baseline STGCN++ model, which reached only 25.73%. The study also introduced a novel explanation suite that demonstrates the ensemble's reliance on body-region evidence, aligning more closely with Laban Movement Analysis attributes than classical kinematics.

    Orthogonal Ensembles and Tested Explanations for Performer-Independent Body-Motion Emotion Recognition

    arXiv:2609.02510v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study body-only, 12-class acted-emotion classification from skeleton motion under leave-performer-out (LPO) evaluation, a hard, underdetermined setting: chance is 8.3%, and a protocol-matched reproduced STGCN++ baseline reaches…
