Human affective recognition is an important factor in human-computer interaction. However, the method development with in-the-wild data is not yet accurate enough for practical usage. In this paper, we introduce the affective recognition method focusing on facial expression (EXP) and valence-arousal calculation that was submitted to the Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) 2021 Contest. When annotating facial expressions from a video, we thought that it would be judged not only from the features common to all people, but also from the relative changes in the time series of individuals. Therefore, after learning the common features for each frame, we constructed a facial expression estimation model and valence-arousal model using time-series data after combining the common features and the standardized features for each video. Furthermore, the above features were learned using multi-modal data such as image features, AU, Head pose, and Gaze. In the validation set, our model achieved a facial expression score of 0.546. These verification results reveal that our proposed framework can improve estimation accuracy and robustness effectively.
