• Abstract: Multimodal sentiment analysis is an important research area that predicts speaker's sentiment tendency through features extracted from textual, visual and acoustic modalities. The central challenge is the fusion method of the multimodal information. A variety of fusion methods have been proposed, but few of them adopt end-to-end translation models to mine the subtle correlation between modalities. Enlightened by recent success of Transformer in the area of machine translation, we propose a new fusion method, TransModality, to address the task of multimodal sentiment analysis. We assume that translation between modalities contributes to a better joint representation of speaker's utterance. With Transformer, the learned features embody the information both from the source modality and the target modality. We validate our model on multiple multimodal datasets: CMU-MOSI, MELD, IEMOCAP. The experiments show that our proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

  Multimodal emotion recognition in conversation aims to accurately identify emotions in conversational utterances.

  We propose MLA (Multimodal Learning with Alternating Unimodal Adaptation) to overcome challenges where some modalities appear more dominant than others during multimodal learning. MLA reframes the conventional joint multimodal learning process by transforming it into an alternating unimodal learning process. It captures cross-modal interactions through a shared head, which undergoes continuous optimization across different modalities. Experiments are conducted on five diverse datasets, encompassing scenarios with complete modalities and scenarios with missing modalities.
