Abstract 

In the era of advanced artificial intelligence, the integration of emotional intelligence into AI systems has become crucial for developing Responsible Software Systems that are not only functional but also emotionally perceptive. The Microe dataset, a pioneering compilation focusing on micro-expressions, aims to revolutionize AI systems by enhancing their capability to recognize and interpret subtle emotional cues. This dataset encompasses over eight classes of common emotions, meticulously captured and categorized to aid in the synthesis and recognition of micro-expressions.

Our initiative fosters a competitive environment where participants are encouraged to employ advanced feature extraction techniques for the synthesis and recognition of micro-expressions. The competition emphasizes the creation of Responsible AI systems that are explainable, trustworthy, and inclusive. By leveraging this dataset, developers can build facial expression recognition systems that are generalizable and capable of operating across diverse demographic groups, thereby promoting inclusivity.

The ultimate goal is to drive the development of Emotion Recognition technologies that are embedded with ethical considerations, ensuring that AI systems are both technologically advanced and socially responsible. The Microe dataset serves as a cornerstone for this mission, providing a robust foundation for the development of AI systems that are emotionally intelligent and aligned with the principles of Responsible AI. This initiative underscores the importance of creating AI systems that are transparent, fair, and capable of understanding and responding to human emotions, paving the way for a future where AI systems are as empathetic as they are intelligent.
