Abstract

The ninth Audio-Visual Emotion Challenge and workshop AVEC 2019 was held in conjunction with ACM Multimedia'19. This year, the AVEC series addressed major novelties with three distinct tasks: State-of-Mind Sub-challenge (SoMS), Detecting Depression with Artificial Intelligence Sub-challenge (DDS), and Cross-cultural Emotion Sub-challenge (CES). The SoMS was based on a novel dataset (USoM corpus) that includes self-reported mood (10-point Likert scale) after the narrative of personal stories (two positive and two negative). The DDS was based on a large extension of the DAICWOZ corpus (c f. AVEC 2016) that includes new recordings of patients suffering from depression with the virtual agent conducting the interview being, this time, wholly driven by AI, i. e., without any human intervention. The CES was based on the SEWA dataset (c. f. AVEC 2018) that has been extended with the inclusion of new participants in order to investigate how emotion knowledge of Western European cultures (German, Hungarian) can be transferred to the Chinese culture. In this summary, we mainly describe participation and conditions of the AVEC Challenge.
