Nor happy nor sad (ongoing)

Emotion recognition is hot topic. Current emotion recognition software is capable of recognizing angry, happy, disgusted, neutral, sad, scared and surprised faces.
I questioned if this kind of software is capable of recognizing more complex emotions/states such as melancholy or vulnerability. Therefore, I started creating my own dataset to train existing models on. I scraped these images from several platforms using particular hashtags.
