ArXi:2603.16302v1 Announce Type: new Micro-expression (ME) action units (Micro-AUs) provide objective clues for fine-grained genuine emotion analysis. Most existing Micro-AU detection methods learn AU features from the whole facial image/video, which conflicts with the inherent locality of AU, resulting in insufficient perception of AU regions. In fact, each AU independently corresponds to specific localized facial muscle movements (local independence), while there is an inherent dependency between some AUs under specific emotional states (global dependency.
