This study proposes a multimodal framework for automatic pain assessment, which utilizes facial videos and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to alleviate the need for domain-specific models. The framework employs a dual vision transformer (ViT) configuration and adopts waveform representations for fNIRS and extracted embeddings from both modalities. The proposed method achieves an accuracy of 46.76% in the multilevel pain assessment task, demonstrating its efficacy.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This study helps healthcare by developing a way to automatically assess pain. It uses two types of data: videos of people’s faces and information about brain activity. The new approach doesn’t need specific models for each type of data. The researchers tested their method and found it was good at guessing the level of pain someone is feeling.
