abstract: >-
  The human face is a silent communicator, expressing
  emotions and thoughts through its facial expressions. With
  the advancements in computer vision in recent years,
  facial emotion recognition technology has made significant
  strides, enabling machines to decode the intricacies of
  facial cues. In this work, we propose ResEmoteNet, a novel
  deep learning architecture for facial emotion recognition
  designed with the combination of Convolutional,
  Squeeze-Excitation (SE) and Residual Networks. The
  inclusion of SE block selectively focuses on the important
  features of the human face, enhances the feature
  representation and suppresses the less relevant ones. This
  helps in reducing the loss and enhancing the overall model
  performance. We also integrate the SE block with three
  residual blocks that help in learning more complex
  representation of the data through deeper layers. We
  evaluated ResEmoteNet on three open-source databases:
  FER2013, RAF-DB, and AffectNet, achieving accuracies of
  79.79%, 94.76%, and 72.39%, respectively. The proposed
  network outperforms state-of-the-art models across all
  three databases. The source code for ResEmoteNet is
