Emotion Recognition in the Wild Challenge 2016

The fourth Emotion Recognition in the Wild (EmotiW) 2016 Grand Challenge consists of an all-day event with a focus on affective sensing in unconstrained conditions. There are two sub-challenges: audio-video based emotion classification sub-challenge and image based group emotion recognition sub-challenge. EmotiW 2016 extends the platform introduced in EmotiW challenges 2013-15 and this year a new image based group emotion based sub-challenge has been added.
