Multi-instance Dynamic Ordinal Random Fields for Weakly-Supervised Pain Intensity Estimation
In this paper, we address the Multi-Instance-Learning (MIL) problem when bag labels are naturally represented as ordinal variables (Multi--Instance--Ordinal Regression). Moreover, we consider the case where bags are temporal sequences of ordinal instances. To model this, we propose the novel Multi-Instance Dynamic Ordinal Random Fields (MI-DORF). In this model, we treat instance-labels inside the bag as latent ordinal states. The MIL assumption is modelled by incorporating a high-order cardinality potential relating bag and instance-labels,into the energy function. We show the benefits of the proposed approach on the task of weakly-supervised pain intensity estimation from the UNBC Shoulder-Pain Database. In our experiments, the proposed approach significantly outperforms alternative non-ordinal methods that either ignore the MIL assumption, or do not model dynamic information in target data.

Multi-Instance Dynamic Ordinal Random Fields for Weakly-supervised Facial Behavior Analysis
We propose a Multi-Instance-Learning (MIL) approach for weakly-supervised learning problems, where a training set is formed by bags (sets of feature vectors or instances) and only labels at bag-level are provided. Specif…

Automated recognition of facial expressions of emotions, and detection of facial action units (AUs), from videos depends critically on modeling of their dynamics. These dynamics are characterized by changes in temporal p…
