Once the dependencies are installed, you can run the project. python3 emotions.py

To train new models for emotion classification

• Download the fer2013.tar.gz file from here
• Move the downloaded file to the datasets directory inside this repository.
• Untar the file: tar -xzf fer2013.tar
• Use train_emotion_classifier.py for training
• Run the train_emotion_classification.py file: python3 train_emotion_classifier.py

Deep Learning Model

The model used is from this research paper written by Octavio Arriaga, Paul G. Plöger, and Matias Valdenegro.
