A Unified Deep Model for Joint Facial Expression Recognition, Face Synthesis, and Face Alignment

Facial expression recognition, face synthesis, and face alignment are three coherently related tasks and can be solved in a joint framework. To achieve this goal, in this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end deep learning model by exploiting the expression code, geometry code and generated data jointly for simultaneous pose-invariant facial expression recognition, face image synthesis, and face alignment. The proposed deep model enjoys several merits. First, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to address these three tasks jointly in a unified deep model to complement and enhance each other. Second, the proposed model can effectively disentangle the global and local identity representation from different expression and geometry codes. As a result, it can automatically generate facial images with different expressions under arbitrary geometry codes. Third, these three tasks can further boost their performance for each other via our model. Extensive experimental results on three standard benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed deep model performs favorably against state-of-the-art methods on the three tasks.
