From Affect to Complex Behavior: Advancing Multimodal Human-Centered AI at the 10th ABAW Workshop & Competition

The 10th Affective & Behavior Analysis in-the-Wild (ABAW) Workshop and Competition, held at CVPR 2026, introduced new challenges for multimodal human-centered AI, including emotional mimicry intensity estimation, ambivalence recognition, and fine-grained violence detection. The competition and paper track provided benchmarks using large-scale in-the-wild datasets to advance modeling of human affect and behavior in unconstrained environments. The event serves as a key platform for shaping next-generation AI systems focused on real-world affective and behavioral understanding.

arXiv:2605.27451v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The 10th Affective & Behavior Analysis in-the-Wild (ABAW) Workshop and Competition, held at CVPR 2026, continues to advance research on modelling, analysis, understanding of human affect and behavior in real-world, unconstrained environments. The workshop maintains its dual structure, comprising both a competition and a paper track. The ABAW Competition introduces a diverse set of challenges targeting key aspects of affective and behavioral understanding, including continuous affect (valence-arousal) estimation, discrete affect (expression and action unit) recognition, as well as more complex behavior analysis tasks, such as emotional mimicry intensity estimation, ambivalence/hesitancy recognition and fine-grained violence detection. These challenges are built upon large-scale in-the-wild datasets, providing comprehensive benchmarks for state-of-the-art approaches. In parallel, the paper track presents a wide range of contributions spanning pose, motion & behavior estimation, affect modelling & multimodal learning, benchmarks, datasets & evaluation protocols, fairness, robustness & deployment. Overall, the 10th ABAW Workshop and Competition continues to serve as a key platform for benchmarking, collaboration and innovation, shaping the development of next-generation multimodal, human-centered AI systems.
