Solution to the 10th ABAW Expression Recognition Challenge: A Robust Multimodal Framework with Safe Cross-Attention and Modality Dropout
Emotion recognition in real-world environments is hindered by partial occlusions, missing modalities, and severe class imbalance. To address these issues, particularly for the Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) Expression challenge, we propose a multimodal framework that dynamically fuses visual and audio representations. Our approach uses a dual-branch Transformer architecture featuring a safe cross-attention mechanism and a modality dropout strategy. This design allows the network to rely on audio-based predictions when visual cues are absent. To mitigate the long-tail distribution of the Aff-Wild2 dataset, we apply focal loss optimization, combined with a sliding-window soft voting strategy to capture dynamic emotional transitions and reduce frame-level classification jitter. Experiments demonstrate that our framework effectively handles missing modalities and complex spatiotemporal dependencies, achieving an accuracy of 60.79% and an F1-score of 0.5029 on the Aff-Wild2 validation set.
