Abstract

We present the first Audio-Visual+ Emotion recognition Challenge and workshop (AV+EC 2015) aimed at compari- son of multimedia processing and machine learning methods for automatic audio, visual and physiological emotion anal- ysis. This is the 5th event in the AVEC series, but the very first Challenge that bridges across audio, video and physiological data. The goal of the Challenge is to provide a common benchmark test set for multimodal information processing and to bring together the audio, video and phys- iological emotion recognition communities, to compare the relative merits of the three approaches to emotion recogni- Tion under well-defined and strictly comparable conditions and establish to what extent fusion of the approaches is pos- sible and beneficial. This paper presents the challenge, the dataset and the performance of the baseline system.
