Chehre: leaderboard

Dominant facial-expression recognition on Chehre (Azari et al., 2026): 2,111 videos of emoji-prompted expressions re-enacted on synthetic faces, each rated by about 30 perceivers. A video language model picks the top two labels from the candidate set the raters saw, including None; top-1 accuracy in percent against the label with the highest mean human rating, higher is better.

Metric: Top-1 accuracy (%; share of the 2,111 videos where the model's first label is the label with the highest mean human rating; closed candidate label set including None; 32 uniformly sampled frames, 24 for InternVL3-38B). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around September 2027. 6 models tracked.
