HSEmotion Team at the 11th ABAW Challenge: Multi-Task Learning and Ambivalence/Hesitancy Video Recognition
This article presents our results for the 11th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-Wild (ABAW) competition. For multi-task learning with simultaneous prediction of valence, arousal, facial expressions, and action units on s-Aff-Wild2 dataset, we use frozen lightweight facial extractors, MT-EmotiDDAMFN and MT-EmotiEffNet-B0, with separate heads and systematic post-processing: temporal Gaussian smoothing, per-class expression bias, AffectNet blending, per-AU threshold tuning, and weighted backbone fusion. On the official validation set, our ensemble significantly exceeds the performance of the ConvNeXt baseline. For ambivalence/hesitancy video recognition on the expanded BAH dataset, we extend the audiovisual pipeline to video-level Macro F1 by late fusion of face, HuBERT audio, and RoBERTa text classifiers, temporal aggregation, and a global-text gate. Frame-level Weighted F1 on validation set rises from 0.74 in ABAW-8 to 0.79, while the best public-test video-level Macro F1 reaches 0.73. In both tasks, competitive performance is achieved without fine-tuning heavy backbones. These results indicate that systematic prediction calibration and lightweight multimodal fusion can rival substantially heavier end-to-end approaches while offering improved efficiency and deployment flexibility.
