Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The Action Unit represents the movement of each facial muscle, and by combining Action Unit, facial expressions can be quantified. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting dementia patients by designing dynamic features of the Action Unit and a method for detecting dementia patients by time series analysis of the Action Unit using LSTM, a deep learning model suitable for time series data. The dynamic feature design aims to capture differences in the speed of facial expression change, and the LSTM analysis aims to capture patterns of facial expression change that are useful for identifying dementia. The PROMPT dataset, in which the upper body of a subject was captured while the subject was engaged in a daily conversation with a doctor, was used, and a total of 155 people, 79 dementia patients and 76 healthy subjects, were evaluated in the dataset. The proposed method using dynamic features and LSTM achieved an AUC of 0.77 for both methods, which is higher than the AUC of 0.70 for the conventional method for dementia detection using Action Unit. The AUC was improved to 0.84 by combining information such as facial landmarks and eye gaze in addition to the Action Unit. The evaluation of feature importance of the proposed method using dynamic features showed that the movements of facial muscles around the eyes may be useful in detecting dementia. Furthermore, we applied the proposed LSTM-based method to depression and bipolar disorder, and showed its applicability to other disorders.
