StressID: a Multimodal Dataset for Stress Identification

International audienceStressID is a new dataset specifically designed for stress identification from unimodal and multimodal data. It contains videos of facial expressions, audio recordings, and physiological signals. The video and audio recordings are acquired using an RGB camera with an integrated microphone. The physiological data is composed of electrocardiography (ECG), electrodermal activity (EDA), and respiration signals that are recorded and monitored using a wearable device. This experimental setup ensures a synchronized and high-quality multimodal data col8 lection. Different stress-inducing stimuli, such as emotional video clips, cognitive tasks including mathematical or comprehension exercises, and public speaking scenarios, are designed to trigger a diverse range of emotional responses. The final dataset consists of recordings from 65 participants that performed 11 tasks, as well as their ratings of perceived relaxation, stress, arousal, and valence levels. StressID is one of the largest datasets for stress identification that features three different sources of data and varied classes of stimuli, representing more than 39 hours of annotated data in total. StressID offers baseline models for stress16 classification including a cleaning, feature extraction, and classification phase for each modality. Additionally, we provide multimodal predictive models combining video, audio, and physiological inputs. The data and the code for the baselines are available at https://project.inria.fr/stressid/
