Emotion recognition in the wild challenge (EmotiW) challenge and workshop summary

The Emotion Recognition In The Wild Challenge and Workshop (EmotiW) 2013 Grand Challenge consists of an audio-video based emotion classification challenge, which mimics real-world conditions. In total, 27 teams participated in the challenge. The database in the 2013 challenge is the Acted Facial Expression in the Wild (AFEW), which has been collected from movies showing close-to-real-world conditions.
