  • Probing Bias in Facial Expression AI

    Our group’s research investigated why AI models for facial expression recognition exhibit inconsistent performance across different subject populations, including healthy individuals and patients with facial palsy. Testing state-of-the-art models, the authors found that factors such as sex, age, and facial symmetry significantly skew model predictions, for instance, “happy” was more strongly activated for women, while…
