How AI describes AVEC (Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge)

The Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop (AVEC) 2019 is a satellite event of ACM MM 2019 that provides a common benchmark for comparing multimodal methods to automatically assess health and emotion from audio, visual, and audiovisual data. It comprises three sub-challenges—State-of-Mind (predicting mood from recordings), Detecting Depression with AI (depression severity from AI-driven DAIC-WOZ interviews), and Cross-cultural Emotion Sub-Challenge (emotion inference across cultures in-the-wild data). The event aims to advance robust health and emotion recognition systems using standardized datasets and evaluations, with prizes sponsored by audEERING and Jabra.
