NAC-TCN: Temporal Convolutional Networks with Causal Dilated Neighborhood Attention for Emotion Understanding
Accepted to ICVIP 2023!
Alexander Mehta & William Yang
We propose a method known as Neighborhood Attention with Convolutions TCN (NAC-TCN) which incorporates the benefits of attention and Temporal Convolutional Networks achiving comparable or state-of-the-art performance over TCNs, TCAN, LSTMs, and GRUs while requiring fewer parameters on standard emotion recognition datasets.
