Introducing Chehre: An Open-Access Dataset of Facial Expressions Based on Emojis

This exploratory study introduces Chehre, a multimodal emoji-expression dataset with data from n=843 participants. Dynamic facial-head portrayals of 40 emojis were transferred via neural face-swap onto generated photorealistic people. We contribute 456 high-quality videos with strong agreement, covering 37 emoji and 57 meaning labels, alongside semantic space theory analyses.
