Abstract This review provides a comprehensive analysis of prominent facial emotion recognition (FER) datasets, including RAVDESS, FER2013, AffectNet, CK+, JAFFE, SFEW, EmotioNet, and RAF-DB. Each dataset is examined based on its size, emotional categories, demographic coverage, and relevance to real-world scenarios. While these datasets have significantly contributed to the development and benchmarking of FER models, notable limitations persist, particularly the underrepresentation of diverse demographic groups and the lack of complex or subtle emotional expressions. The review further explores emerging deep learning advancements such as Transformer-based architectures, multimodal learning techniques, and generative models, which hold promise in overcoming these challenges. By integrating these innovations with enriched and inclusive datasets, FER systems can achieve greater accuracy, adaptability, and robustness in uncontrolled environments. Such improvements are essential for enhancing the performance and fairness of emotion recognition applications across domains including healthcare, education, customer service, and human-computer interaction.
