EfficientNet-B0 facial-expression classifier

EmotiEffLib EfficientNet-B0 AffectNet checkpoint with seven visible-expression categories.

This repository contains immutable model artifacts used by Facetorch. Use the packaged Facetorch manifest to select a revision and artifact; do not treat mutable main or older unlisted files as a release contract.

Contract

Field Value
Model ID fer-efficientnet-b0
Architecture TF EfficientNet-B0 with average pooling
Input 244 by 244 RGB face crop
Output Seven logits ordered as Anger, Disgust, Fear, Happiness, Neutral, Sadness, Surprise.
Dynamic shapes Batch dimension 1 through 64.
Weights license Apache-2.0

Preprocessing: Resize to 244 by 244 and apply ImageNet mean [0.485, 0.456, 0.406] and standard deviation [0.229, 0.224, 0.225].

Facetorch v1 supports the Torch 2.6 and 2.11 cohort files listed in its manifest. The legacy TorchScript object is CPU-only and requires the explicit legacy opt-in. Files from unsupported cohorts are not part of the v1 release contract.

Loading the manifest-selected artifact

import torch
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from facetorch.artifacts import get_model_manifest

MODEL_ID = "fer-efficientnet-b0"
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
artifact = get_model_manifest().candidates(
    MODEL_ID,
    torch_version=torch.__version__,
    device=device,
    allow_legacy_models=False,
)[0]
path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id=artifact.repo_id,
    revision=artifact.revision,
    filename=artifact.filename,
)
model = torch.export.load(path).module().to(device).eval()
example = torch.randn(1, 3, 244, 244, device=device)
with torch.inference_mode():
    output = model(example)

The random tensor above is only a loading smoke test. Use Facetorch's documented preprocessing for meaningful inference.

Mapping method: exact_tensor_equality_against_historical_author_repository_checkpoint.

Result: 360 of 360 tensors matched exactly.

The repository owner approved the mapping and redistribution record on 2026-08-23.

Papers

Intended use

  • Research classification of visible facial-expression categories.

Limitations and responsible use

  • Expression labels do not establish emotion, intent, mental state, or truthfulness.
  • Performance varies with culture, context, demographic representation, pose, and image quality.
  • The checkpoint license does not grant rights to AffectNet or other training datasets.
  • The artifact license does not itself license training datasets, input data, or a deployment's processing of personal data.
  • Do not use model output as the sole basis for consequential decisions about a person.
