Abstract
Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) aims at interpreting emotional states from facial behaviors. Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved
notable successes in FER through inductive pattern recognition, yet their real-world effectiveness remains limited. This limitation
stems from difficulties in capturing the multifaceted and nuanced range of facial behavior in both theoretical models and datasets. To
address these issues, this paper proposes adopting Neuro-Symbolic AI (N-SAI), i.e. approaches that combine the rule-based strengths
of symbolic AI with the numerical power of DL. We explore various N-SAI strategies, with a particular focus on abductive learning,
which interprets sub-symbolic data into logical facts and uses logical abduction to correct misconceptions. This approach not only
improves the adaptability of FER systems, but also fosters new insights into the relationship between facial behaviors and emotional
states, substantially enhancing the practical utility and effectiveness of FER technologies. Additionally, the analysis relates N-SAI
reasoning to human cognition, deduction, induction, and abduction, as a conceptual lens on hybrid intelligence |
