Joint Face Detection and Facial Expression Recognition with MTCNN

The Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Networks (MTCNN) has recently demonstrated impressive results on jointly face detection and alignment. By using the hard sample ming and training a model on FER2013 datasets, we exploit the inherent correlation between face detection and facial express-ion recognition, and report the results of facial expression recognition based on MTCNN.
