    Recent advances in deep learning (DL) and computational capacity have enabled facial affective behavior analysis (FABA) to progress from static images captured in controlled settings to fine-grained analysis of facial expressions in real-world video data. However, training accurate DL models for FABA typically requires large-scale, expert-annotated datasets, which are costly to obtain and inherently noisy due to the
