Sorry, I can't share the training images due to the need to protect the privacy of the subjects.Each training image's captions included one word for the mouth type and one for the eye type. Some combinations had much higher representation in the data that others. All captions also included 2 to 4 specific matching emotions. The captions didn't include any other words. No other descriptions of the subject, physical parts of the face, background, style, or quality. Caption shuffling was used. Prior preservation wasn't. ~10K steps with default LR.
