Empathy ability is one of the most important social communication skills in early childhood development. To analyze children's empathy ability, facial expression analysis (FEA) an effective way due to its understand emotional states. Previous works mainly focus on recognizing categories yet fail estimate intensity, latter which more for fine-grained emotion analysis. this end, article first proposes with both and intensities expressions. A novel FEA method based intensity label distribution...

A novel method using hybrid geometric and appearance features of the difference between neutral fully expressive facial expression images is proposed for recognition in this paper. The tends to emphasize parts that are changed from face eliminate way identity image. include feature point displacements local texture differences normalized images. achieved an average accuracy 95% extended Cohn-Kanade database with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification method.

How to improve social communication skills for children, especially those with difficulties such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, has long been a challenge faced by researchers and therapists. Recent research indicates that computer-assisted approaches may be effective in addressing this issue. This study aimed understand children's behaviors then provide appropriate support their skills. We have established an intelligent system, inside which child can freely play interactive...

The recent success of Large Language Models (LLMs) has catalyzed an increasing interest in their self-correction capabilities. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the intrinsic LLMs, attempting to address ongoing debate about its feasibility. Our research identified important latent factor - ``confidence'' LLMs during process. Overlooking this may cause models over-criticize themselves, resulting unreliable conclusions regarding efficacy self-correction. We have...

Facial expression processing mainly depends on whether the facial features related to expressions can be fully acquired, and appropriate strategies adopted according different conditions. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulty accurately recognizing responding appropriately, which is regarded as an important cause of their social disorders. This study used eye tracking technology explore internal mechanism in children ASD under influence spatial frequency inversion...

Autistic children have severe communication and social interaction disorders. With appropriate stimulating learning materials, game-based e-learning intervention is a new approach to improve skills of autistic children. At the same time, analysis also necessary. In this study, eye-tracking technology was used analyze visual attention characteristics watching different forms complexities stimuli. 23 were recruited as research participants, using cartoon real stimuli experimental materials....

Abstract Emotional contagion is believed to be the evolutionary basis of empathy. Recently, empathy was also confirmed exist in rodents. However, underlying mechanism remains elusive. Using a social defeat model, we found that depressive emotion can transmitted between cagemates mice through odor cues. Odors from defeated containing information about danger induced avoidance, producing force opposite orientation naïve mice. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) chooses flight or approach after...

To effectively evaluate the gross motor ability of autistic children, we proposed a method computerised evaluation skills (CEGM). The CEGM integrates Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and OpenPose technology to automatically detect key joints return score. Ten items were selected for based on subtest Psychoeducational Profile – Third Edition (PEP-3) scale, including upper limb movement, lower body coordination performance. 30 participants (males: 23, female: 7) with an average age 5.00 years...

Visual perception is the foundation of children's learning and cognitive development. Abnormal visual one typical symptoms children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They urgently need early diagnosis regular assessment to develop appropriate intervention strategies. However, there a serious contradiction between rapidly increasing demand for limited supply professional assessment.

Dealing with non-stationarity in environments (e.g., the transition dynamics) and objectives reward functions) is a challenging problem that crucial real-world applications of reinforcement learning (RL). While most current approaches model changes as single shared embedding vector, we leverage insights from recent causality literature to terms individual latent change factors, causal graphs across different environments. In particular, propose Factored Adaptation for Non-Stationary RL...
