Deep Learning project for beginners – Taking you closer to your Data Science dream

Emojis or avatars are ways to indicate nonverbal cues. These cues have become an essential part of online chatting, product review, brand emotion, and many more. It also lead to increasing data science research dedicated to emoji-driven storytelling.

With advancements in computer vision and deep learning, it is now possible to detect human emotions from images. In this deep learning project, we will classify human facial expressions to filter and map corresponding emojis or avatars.

About the Dataset

The FER2013 dataset ( facial expression recognition) consists of 48*48 pixel grayscale face images. The images are centered and occupy an equal amount of space. This dataset consist of facial emotions of following categories:

• 0:angry
• 1:disgust
• 2:feat
• 3:happy
• 4:sad
• 5:surprise
• 6:natural

Create your emoji with Deep Learning

We will build a deep learning model to classify facial expressions from the images. Then we will map the classified emotion to an emoji or an avatar.

Facial Emotion Recognition using CNN

In the below steps will build a convolution neural network architecture and train the model on FER2013 dataset for Emotion recognition from images.

Download the dataset from the above link. Extract it in the data folder with separate train and test directories.
