Unconsciously, humans evaluate situations based on environment and social parameters when recognizing emotions in social interactions. Contextual information such as the ongoing task, the identity and natural expressiveness of the individual, and other people involved, helps us interpret and respond to social interactions. Without context, even humans may misunderstand the observed facial, vocal or body behavior. Then, an important related issue that should be addressed in automatic affect recognition is how to take into account the context information for real-world affect related applications.
