The third Emotion Recognition in the Wild (EmotiW) 2015 challenge will be held at ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces 2015, Seattle.

EmotiW 2015 consists of two sub-challenges:

1. Video based emotion recognition
2. Image based static facial expression recognition

Further details will be posted soon.

Second EmotiW Challenge was organised at the ACM ICMI 2014, Istanbul [EmotiW 2014].
First EmotiW Challenge was organised at the ACM ICMI 2013, Sydney [EmotiW 2013].
