Abstract Micro-expressions (ME) recognition is a complex task that requires advanced techniques to extract informative features from facial expressions. Numerous deep neural networks (DNNs) with convolutional structures have been proposed. However, unlike DNNs, shallow convolutional neural networks often outperform deeper models in mitigating overfitting, particularly with small datasets. Still, many of these methods rely on a single feature for recognition, resulting in an insufficient ability to extract highly effective features. To address this limitation, in this paper, an Improved Dual-stream Shallow Convolutional Neural Network based on an Extreme Gradient Boosting Algorithm (IDSSCNN-XgBoost) is introduced for ME… More >
