Facial Expression Recognition (FER) is the task of classifying the expressions onfacial images into various categories, such as anger, fear, surprise, happiness, etc. FER is movingfrom laboratory-based theory demonstrations to practical real-world applications, but there are stillmany challenges to achieving a working system in the field. Automatic FER has typically facedtwo major challenges: lack of sufficient and/or demographically representative training data, andvariation in image quality parameters. Although there are 6 or 7 sentiments that are frequentlyidentified, in order to deliver a benefit to FLASH, this system only needs to categorize intosatisfied (good/neutral experience) or dissatisfied (poor/bad experience). The team will utilize ahistorical dataset of images to develop the recognition system and correlate the trend inconsumer sentiment to operational functioning within our parking garages. Validation will includefield testing of the recognition engine.Responsibilities• Developed and trained an LSTM model leveraging a dataset comprising 417k audio files; Implemented word sequence analysis considering word order using 50-dimensional GloVe pre-trained word embeddings• Enhanced generative accuracy of the sentiment classification model by implementing PyTorch and Tensorflow-based techniques. Achieved an 89% accuracy in emotional classification of AI-generated texts and voices. • Developed and optimized the data transformation and model inference pipeline to enable real-time video sentiment analysis on local FLASH’s kiosks within 5-10s of customer interactions.
