Abstract

BACKGROUND: The development of automatic emotion recognition models from smartphone videos is a crucial step toward the dissemination of psychotherapeutic app interventions that encourage emotional expressions. Existing models focus mainly on the 6 basic emotions while neglecting other therapeutically relevant emotions. To support this research, we introduce the novel Stress Reduction Training Through the Recognition of Emotions Wizard-of-Oz (STREs WoZ) dataset, which contains facial videos of 16 distinct, therapeutically relevant emotions.
