▼ Aquesta tesi doctoral se centra en el problema de l'Anàlisi Automàtic del Comportament
Facial, on l'objectiu és desenvolupar sistemes autònoms capaços de reconèixer i entendre les expressions facials humanes. Donada la quantitat d'informació que es pot extreure d'aquestes expressions, sistemes d'aquest tipus tenen multitud d'aplicacions en camps com la Interacció Home-Màquina, el Marketing o l'Assistència Clínica. Per aquesta raó, investigadors en Visió per Computador i Aprenentatge Automàtic han destinat molts esforços en les últimes dècades per tal d'aconseguir avenços en aquest sentit. Malgrat això, la majoria de problemes relacionats amb l'anàlisi automàtic d'expressions facials encara estan lluny de ser conisderats com a resolts.
En aquest context, aquesta tesi està motivada pel fet que la majoria de mètodes proposats fins ara han seguit el paradigma d'aprenentatge supervisat, on els models són entrenats mitjançant dades anotades explícitament en funció del problema a resoldre. Desafortunadament, aquesta estratègia té grans limitacions donat que l'anotació d'expressions en bases de dades és una tasca molt costosa i lenta. Per tal d'afrontar aquest repte, aquesta tesi proposa encarar l'Anàlisi Automàtic del Comportament
Facial mitjançant el paradigma d'aprenentatge dèbilment supervisat. A diferència del cas anterior, aquests models poden ser entrenats utilitzant etiquetes que són fàcils d'anotar però que només donen informació parcial sobre la tasca que es vol aprendre. Seguint aquesta idea, desenvolupem un conjunt de mètodes per tal de resoldre problemes típics en el camp com el reconeixement d' "Action Units", l'Estimació d'Intensitat d'Expressions Facials o l'Anàlisi Emocional. Els resultats obtinguts avaluant els mètodes presentats en aquestes tasques, demostren que l'aprenentatge dèbilment supervisat pot ser una solució per tal de reduir l'esforç d'anotació en l'Anàlisi Automàtic del Comportament
Facial. De la mateixa manera, aquests mètodes es mostren útils a l'hora de facilitar el procés d'etiquetatge de bases de dades creades per aquest propòsit.

▼ Sensory and consumer sciences aim to understand the influences of product acceptability and purchase decisions. The food industry measures product acceptability through hedonic testing but often does not assess implicit or qualitative response. Incorporation of qualitative research and automated
facial expression
analysis (AFEA) may supplement hedonic acceptability testing to provide product insights. The purpose of this research was to assess the application of AFEA and qualitative
analysis to understand consumer experience and response. In two studies, AFEA was applied to elucidate consumers emotional response to dairy (n=42) and water (n=46) beverages. For dairy, unflavored milk (x=6.6±1.8) and vanilla syrup flavored milk (x=5.9±2.2) (p>0.05) were acceptably rated (1=dislike extremely; 9=like extremely) while salty flavored milk (x=2.3±1.3) was least acceptable (p<0.05). Vanilla syrup flavored milk generated emotions with surprised intermittently present over time (10 sec) (p<0.025) compared to unflavored milk. Salty flavored milk created an intense disgust response among other emotions compared to unflavored milk (p<0.025). Using a bitter solutions model in water, an inverse relationship existed with acceptability as bitter intensity increased (rs=-0.90; p<0.0001).
Facial expressions characterized as disgust and happy emotion increased in duration as bitter intensity increased while neutral remained similar across bitter intensities compared to the control (p<0.025). In a mixed methods
analysis to enumerate microbial populations, assess water quality, and qualitatively gain consumer insights regarding water fountains and water filling stations, results inferred that water quality differences did not exist between water fountains and water filling stations (metals, pH, chlorine, and microbial) (p>0.05). However, the exterior of water fountains were microbially (8.8 CFU/cm
2) and visually cleaner than filling stations (10.4x10
3 CFU/cm
2) (p<0.05). Qualitative
analysis contradicted quantitative findings as participants preferred water filling stations because they felt they were cleaner and delivered higher quality water. Lastly, The Theory of Planned
Behavior was able to assist in understanding undergraduates' reusable water bottle
behavior and revealed 11 categories (attitudes n=6; subjective norms n=2; perceived behavioral control n=2; intentions n=1). Collectively, the use of AFEA and qualitative
analysis provided additional insight to consumer-product interaction and acceptability; however, additional research should include improving the sensitivity of AFEA to consumer product evaluation.

▼ The Duchenne smile, which is a smile that involves activation of the cheek raiser muscle that creates crow's feet around the eyes, has long been thought of as an infallible expression of genuine happiness (Ekman, Friesen, & Hager, 2002). Recent research has begun to show that the Duchenne smile can be deliberately produced (Gunnery, Hall, & Ruben, 2013; Krumhuber & Manstead, 2009). As the ability to deliberately produce a Duchenne smile continues to be documented, the questions become why someone might want to produce a Duchenne smile deliberately, and what the social outcomes of being able to do so are. The goals of the current dissertation were to first summarize the previous literature on perceptions of Duchenne smiles to gain clarity on how people who produce Duchenne smiles are perceived differently from those who produce non-Duchenne smiles (i.e., smiles without cheek raiser activation), and, second, to investigate how people who are able to produce a deliberate Duchenne smile use the Duchenne smile in real social situations. Lastly this dissertation strove to uncover what the consequences of having the ability to produce a deliberate Duchenne smile are in the contexts of persuasion and liking.; A meta-analysis was conducted to test the combined effect of differences between perceptions of Duchenne and non-Duchenne smiles. In addition to testing the overall effect, moderator analyses were conducted to test how methodological, stimulus specific, and perceiver specific differences between studies predicted the overall effect size. The meta-analysis found that, overall, Duchenne smiles and people producing Duchenne smiles are rated more positively (i.e., authentic, genuine, real, attractive, trustworthy) than non-Duchenne smiles and people producing non-Duchenne smiles. The difference between Duchenne and non-Duchenne smiles was greater when the stimuli were static photographs rather than dynamic videos, when smiles were elicited naturally rather than through posing paradigms, and when Duchenne and non-Duchenne smiles were not matched for intensity of the lip corner puller. These results provide evidence that the benefits of how people that Duchenne smile are perceived by others may motivate people to want to deliberately produce a Duchenne smile.; Study 2 continued to examine these reasons with an investigation of how the ability to deliberately produce a Duchenne smile and use of the Duchenne smile in a social interaction were related to how persuasive an individual was rated to be. A taste perception paradigm (Feldman, Tomasian, & Coats, 1999) was utilized where targets sipped a sweet pleasant tasting juice and a very tart unpleasant tasting juice and had to smile and persuade another person to drink the juice. Participants then completed a deliberate Duchenne smiling paradigm to measure their ability to deliberately produce a Duchenne smile. Naïve perceivers watched videotapes of the taste tasks and rated how likely they would be to try the juice. Results showed that participants who showed the ability to…

▼ Can a common facial cosmetic procedure buffer against the negative impact of adverse social interactions? This pilot tested the hypothesis that an injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) to the corrugator supercilii muscles used in anger, compared to a placebo injection to the same location, will reduce the impact of social rejection on mood, self-esteem, control, meaningful existence, and aggression. Freezing facial musculature was hypothesized to alter the first physical signal of negative emotional reactions, thereby reducing the impact of social rejection on distress and aggression. This was the first study using Botox to examine the effects of reduced facial feedback on felt emotions during social interactions. While the findings in this pilot were not statistically significant, a trend in the data suggests that the effect was in the opposite direction of the prediction such that participants in the Botox (vs. saline) condition experienced greater feelings of rejection. Further investigation is needed.

▼ Over 80 percent of task work in organizations is performed by teams. Most teams operate in a more fluid, dynamic, and complex environment than in the past. As a result, a growing body of research is beginning to focus on how teams’ emotional well-being can benefit the effectiveness of workplace team efforts. These teams are required to be adaptive, to operate in ill-structured environments, and to rely on technology more than ever before. However, teams have become so ubiquitous that many organizations and managers take them for granted and assume they will be effective and productive. Because of the increased use of team work and the lack of sufficient organizational and managerial sufficient best practices for teams, more research is required. Team Emotional Intelligence (TEI) is a collective skill that has been shown to benefit team performance. However, measures for TEI are relatively new and have not been widely studied. Results show TEI is a viable skill that affects performance in IT teams. In technology-rich environments, the teams’ coordination can vary on levels of the expertise needed when TEI behaviors are employed. Cooperative norms play an important role in team interactions and influence TEI. Physiological measures of team emotional contagion and TEI, as well as psychometric measures of team affective tone results show causal affective linkages in the emotional convergence model. These results suggest that combined physiological and psychometric measures of team emotion
behavior provide explanatory power for these linkages in teams during IS technology system use. These findings offer new insights into the emotional states of IS teams that may advance the understanding team behaviors for improved performance outcomes and contribute to the NeuroIS literature.

The American deception epidemic: why public relations

▼ Deception is a parasite that is permeating through
American society. Consciously or not, and at some point or another,
everybody has been a victim or perpetrator of deception. From
exaggerating on a resume in the hopes of getting a job offer, to
taking credit for work performed by a coworker, making a promise to
someone with the intention of breaking it, and misrepresenting a
client to achieve a deliverable, today’s cultural environment is a
breeding ground of deception. This paper, therefore, examines this
deception epidemic that is plaguing the United States. It
chronicles its severely widespread nature in daily life,
demonstrates how it has seeded itself in history and explains its
ongoing propensity through an extensive examination into human
behavior. A sophisticated body of research that has come about over
the years offers evidence that an increased perception and
heightened awareness of others’ behaviors, like
facial expressions,
body language and statement
analysis can be a window into their
true emotions. The relatively recent cultural shift towards a more
visual world as attributed to the influx of images, photographs and
videos suggests that people have an increased visual acuity that
can be channeled into helping them be more cognizant of others. Six
mini‐cases featuring the public deception of two professional
athletes and four politicians in televised interviews and press
conferences are analyzed. The principal conclusion is that public
relations (PR) practitioners will be better communicators, build
more trust with their stakeholders and build better reputations for
themselves with an increased cognizance and use of deception
detection techniques.

▼ Although high-functioning autistic individuals demonstrate normative intelligence, profound deficits in social processing exist. Understanding emotions in faces can be particularly difficult for autistic individuals. In the present research a priming task was used to uncover the speed and strength of association between emotional faces and emotional words. Autistic individuals are often capable of explicitly recognizing emotion in faces but still demonstrate difficulty interpreting emotional situations. In the current study, emotional words were primed by quickly presented matching or mismatching emotional faces. This may be more similar to naturalistic social interactions in which
facial expressions change quickly. The aim was to examine any differences in reaction times and error rates in the priming task between high-functioning autistic children and typical children. Groups were divided into older (8-16 years) and younger (7-11 years) groups to examine any developmental differences that might exist between the two groups. Overall, no priming effects were seen across groups. Younger typical children, however, did seem to be influenced by mismatching prime-target pairs. This may point to a differential developmental trajectory in face and emotion processing between autistic and typical children, as typical children were more influenced by face primes than were older and younger autistic children and older typical children.

▼ The purpose of this study was to compare emotion and personality trait attributions to
facial expressions between American and Asian Indian samples. Data were collected using Amazon.com’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Participants in this study were asked to infer the emotions and personality traits shown in three
facial expressions (scowling, frowning, and smiling) of young white females and males in six photographs. Each picture was randomly presented for 10 seconds followed by four randomized questions about the individual in the picture. The first question asked participants to identify the emotion shown from a list of six emotions (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise). The next three questions consisted of condensed sets of the Big Five personality adjective markers (Minimarkers) (Saucier, 1994), the three Self-Assessment Manikin dimensions (SAM) (Bradley & Lang, 1994), and items related to attractiveness, perceived motivation, and morality inferences. In this study, the “Halo” and “Horns” effects were hypothesized to occur for both cultures, with some cultural differences. Smiling
facial expressions (male and female) were hypothesized and found to have higher emotion judgment accuracy (happiness) and more inferred positive personality traits for both cultures (attractive, not threatening, agreeable, extroverted, pleasing to look at, positive, conscientious, and open-minded). Scowling
facial expressions were hypothesized to have the following attributions: anger, unattractive, threatening, excitable, close-minded, not pleasing to look at, bad, negative, dominant, disagreeable, and unconscientious. Frowning
facial expressions were hypothesized to be perceived as: sad, unattractive, good, submissive, not threatening, not pleasing to look at, positive, and calm. The results for the smiling and frowning
facial expressions showed high mean answer choice accuracy for both cultures regardless of gender in the photograph. Greater accuracy in emotion and trait attributions was hypothesized for U.S. participants because collectivist cultures (India) have trouble expressing and identifying negative emotions since they disturb the harmony of the social group (Matsumoto, 1989, 1992a; Schimmack, 1996). However, results showed that both cultures attributed the correct emotional inference and personality trait attributions to the six
facial expressions for all four questions, except for the Indians on the scowling female
facial expression across each of the four questions.

▼ Enabling machines to understand non-verbal facial behavior from visual data is crucial for building smart interactive systems. This thesis focusses on human behavior analysis in videos. Previous state-of-the-art methods generally employed global temporal pooling approaches that, (i) assume presence of a single uniform event spanning the sequence, and (ii) discard temporal ordering by squashing all information along the temporal dimension. In this dissertation we focus on two specific modeling challenges unaddressed by previous approaches. First issue is training with weak labels that only provide video-level annotations and are much cheaper to obtain than fine (frame-level) annotations. The second concerns modeling temporal dynamics during prediction, as facial expressions are dynamic actions with sub-events. We propose to tackle these issues by proposing methods based on Weakly Supervised Latent Variable Models (WSLVM) and evaluate them on real-world spontaneous expressions. We begin with addressing these challenges by combining Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) framework and Multiple Segment representation (MS-MIL). MS-MIL can simultaneously classify and localize target behavior in videos despite training with weak annotations. However, this method lacks the capability to explicitly model multiple latent concepts or global temporal order. We address this issue in the next chapter by explicitly modeling temporal orderings by learning an exemplar Hidden Markov Model for each sequence. This algorithm models dependencies between segments but is limited in its modeling capacity due to the use of generative modeling. Chapter~4 extends MIL to learn multiple discriminative concepts in a novel formulation for joint clustering and classification. This algorithm shows consistent performance improvement but does not capture temporal structure. We finally present a unified learning framework that combines the strengths of the previously proposed algorithms in that it (i) addresses weakly labeled data (ii) learns multiple discriminative concepts, and (iii) models the temporal ordering structure of the concepts. This method is a novel WSLVM that models a video as a sequence of automatically mined, multiple discriminative sub-events with a loose temporal structure. We show both qualitative and quantitative results highlighting improvements over state-of-the-art algorithms by jointly addressing weak labels and temporal dynamics.
