There Are Gaps in Artificial Intelligence for Dynamic Facial Expression Recognition

Research indicates that while artificial intelligence excels in static images, there are significant disparities in handling dynamic facial expressions. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) are relatively inadequate for dynamic expression processing. It is recommended that AI developers construct algorithms based on real-life stimuli to more accurately simulate the human brain's processing of dynamic facial expressions.
