Student research project · Facial Expression Recognition

What happens when computers begin interpreting human emotion?

EmotionLens studies facial expression recognition: how systems turn a face image into an expression label, how confident those labels really are, and what changes when such systems are placed among people. The central point is simple — recognising a facial pattern is not the same as understanding what a person actually feels.
