- Abstract summary: We introduce a framework to track emotion dynamics through one's utterances.
We use this approach to trace emotional arcs of movie characters.
We analyze thousands of such character arcs to test hypotheses that inform our broader understanding of stories.

- Abstract: Emotion dynamics is a framework for measuring how an individual's emotions
change over time. It is a powerful tool for understanding how we behave and
interact with the world. In this paper, we introduce a framework to track
emotion dynamics through one's utterances. Specifically we introduce a number
of utterance emotion dynamics (UED) metrics inspired by work in Psychology. We
use this approach to trace emotional arcs of movie characters. We analyze
thousands of such character arcs to test hypotheses that inform our broader
understanding of stories. Notably, we show that there is a tendency for
characters to use increasingly more negative words and become increasingly
emotionally discordant with each other until about 90 percent of the narrative
length. UED also has applications in behavior studies, social sciences, and
public health.

We propose a new task "Emotion Deducing Explanation in Dialogues" (EDEN)
EDEN recognizes emotion and causes in an explicitly thinking way.
It can help Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve better recognition of emotions and causes.

We propose a new task, Personality-affected Emotion Generation, to generate emotion based on the personality given to the dialog system.
We analyze the challenges in this task, i.e., (1) heterogeneously integrating personality and emotional factors and (2) extracting multi-granularity emotional information in the dialog context.
Results suggest that by adopting our method, the emotion generation performance is improved by 13% in macro-F1 and 5% in weighted-F1 from the BERT-base model.

In psychology, variation in the ability of individuals to differentiate between emotion concepts is called emotion granularity.
High emotion granularity has been linked with better mental and physical health.
Low emotion granularity has been linked with maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and poor health outcomes.

We propose a Dynamic Causal Disentanglement Model based on hidden variable separation.
This model effectively decomposes the content of dialogues and investigates the temporal accumulation of emotions.
Specifically, we propose a dynamic temporal disentanglement model to infer the propagation of utterances and hidden variables.

We find increasing emotional variability, rise rates (i.e., emotional reactivity), and recovery rates (i.e., emotional regulation) with age.

At run-time, we control the model to produce the desired emotion mixture by manually defining an emotion attribute vector.

Emotional voice conversion (EVC) seeks to convert the emotional state of an utterance while preserving the linguistic content and speaker identity.
In this paper, we aim to explicitly characterize and control the intensity of emotion.
We propose to disentangle the speaker style from linguistic content and encode the speaker style into a style embedding in a continuous space that forms the prototype of emotion embedding.

Model [9.595357496779394]
We use the emotion component process model (CPM) by Scherer (2005) to explain emotion communication.
CPM states that emotions are a coordinated process of various subcomponents, in reaction to an event, namely the subjective feeling, the cognitive appraisal, the expression, a physiological bodily reaction, and a motivational action tendency.
We find that emotions on Twitter are predominantly expressed by event descriptions or subjective reports of the feeling, while in literature, authors prefer to describe what characters do, and leave the interpretation to the reader.
