MDPE: A Multimodal Deception Dataset with Personality and Emotional Characteristics

Deception detection has garnered increasing attention in recent years due to the significant growth of digital media and heightened ethical and security concerns. It has been extensively studied using multimodal methods, including video, audio, and text. In addition, individual differences in deception production and detection are believed to play a crucial role.Although some studies have utilized individual information such as personality traits to enhance the performance of deception detection, current systems remain limited, partly due to a lack of sufficient datasets for evaluating performance. To address this issue, we introduce a multimodal deception dataset MDPE. Besides deception features, this dataset also includes individual differences information in personality and emotional expression characteristics. It can explore the impact of individual differences on deception behavior. It comprises over 104 hours of deception and emotional videos from 193 subjects. Furthermore, we conducted numerous experiments to provide valuable insights for future deception detection research. MDPE not only supports deception detection, but also provides conditions for tasks such as personality recognition and emotion recognition, and can even study the relationships between them. We believe that MDPE will become a valuable resource for promoting research in the field of affective computing.

Guidelines in Wastewater-based Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 with Diagnosis

With the global spread and increasing transmission rate of SARS-CoV-2, more and more laboratories and researchers are turning their attention to wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), hoping it can become an effective tool for large-scale testing and provide more ac-curate predictions of the number of infected individuals. Based on the cases of sewage sampling and testing in some regions such as Hong Kong, Brazil, and the United States, the feasibility of detecting the novel coronavirus in sewage is extremely high. This study re-views domestic and international achievements in detecting SARS-CoV-2 through WBE and summarizes four aspects of COVID-19, including sampling methods, virus decay rate cal-culation, standardized population coverage of the watershed, algorithm prediction, and provides ideas for combining field modeling with epidemic prevention and control. Moreover, we highlighted some diagnostic techniques for detection of the virus from sew-age sample. Our review is a new approach in identification of the research gaps in waste water-based epidemiology and diagnosis and we also predict the future prospect of our analysis.

Two-Aspect Information Fusion Model For ABAW4 Multi-task Challenge

In this paper, we propose the solution to the Multi-Task Learning (MTL) Challenge of the 4th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) competition. The task of ABAW is to predict frame-level emotion descriptors from videos: discrete emotional state; valence and arousal; and action units. Although researchers have proposed several approaches and achieved promising results in ABAW, current works in this task rarely consider interactions between different emotion descriptors. To this end, we propose a novel end to end architecture to achieve full integration of different types of information. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed solution.

EmotionNAS: Two-stream Neural Architecture Search for Speech Emotion Recognition

Speech emotion recognition (SER) is an important research topic in human-computer interaction. Existing works mainly rely on human expertise to design models. Despite their success, different datasets often require distinct structures and hyperparameters. Searching for an optimal model for each dataset is time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address this problem, we propose a two-stream neural architecture search (NAS) based framework, called \enquote{EmotionNAS}. Specifically, we take two-stream features (i.e., handcrafted and deep features) as the inputs, followed by NAS to search for the optimal structure for each stream. Furthermore, we incorporate complementary information in different streams through an efficient information supplement module. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing manually-designed and NAS-based models, setting the new state-of-the-art record.

Revealing the intrinsic superconducting gap anisotropy in surface-neutralized BaFe$_2$(As$_{0.7}$P$_{0.3}$)$_2$

Alkaline-earth iron arsenide (122) is one of the most studied families of iron-based superconductors, especially for angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. While extensive photoemission results have been obtained, the surface complexity of 122 caused by its charge-non-neutral surface is rarely considered. Here, we show that the surface of 122 can be neutralized by potassium deposition. In potassium-coated BaFe$_2$(As$_{0.7}$P$_{0.3}$)$_2$, the surface-induced spectral broadening is strongly suppressed, and hence the coherent spectra that reflect the intrinsic bulk electronic state recover. This enables the measuring of superconducting gap with unpreceded precision. The result shows the existence of two pairing channels. While the gap anisotropy on the outer hole/electron pockets can be well fitted using an s$_\pm$ gap function, the gap anisotropy on the inner hole/electron shows a clear deviation. Our results provide quantitative constraints for refining theoretical models and also demonstrate an experimental method for revealing the intrinsic electronic properties of 122 in future studies.

Fano resonance via bonding and antibonding states in nonadiabatically-pumped double-quantum-well systems

In this work, transport properties of the nonadiabatically pumped double-quantum-well (DQW) structure are studied. Different from a single quantum well, band mixing in the DQW generates bonding and antibonding states, whose wave functions have different spatial symmetry. By applying a time-dependent electric potential to the two well regions simultaneously, Floquet sidebands are formed, which constitutes additional quantum tunneling paths. When one of the Floquet sidebands coincides with the bonding or antibonding quasibound states within the DQW structure, sharp Fano resonances are found in the transmission coefficients as well as in the differential shot noise spectra. While such Fano resonances originate from quantum interference, their shapes are strikingly different for transport via the bonding state and via the antibonding state. The Fano resonance via the even-parity bonding state shows a perfect transmission followed by a total reflection and the Fano resonance via the odd-parity antibonding state has a reversed symmetry and shows a total reflection before a perfect transmission.
