• Abstract: We present Affect2MM, a learning method for time-series emotion prediction for multimedia content. Our goal is to automatically capture the varying emotions depicted by characters in real-life human-centric situations and behaviors. We use the ideas from emotion causation theories to computationally model and determine the emotional state evoked in clips of movies. Affect2MM explicitly models the temporal causality using attention-based methods and Granger causality. We use a variety of components like facial features of actors involved, scene understanding, visual aesthetics, action/situation description, and movie script to obtain an affective-rich representation to understand and perceive the scene. We use an LSTM-based learning model for emotion perception. To evaluate our method, we analyze and compare our performance on three datasets, SENDv1, MovieGraphs, and the LIRIS-ACCEDE dataset, and observe an average of 10-15% increase in the performance over SOTA methods for all three datasets.

  We introduce UniEmoX, a cross-modal semantic-guided large-scale pretraining framework for visual emotion analysis. By exploiting the similarity between paired and unpaired image-text samples, UniEmoX distills rich semantic knowledge from the CLIP model to enhance emotional embedding representations. We develop a visual emotional dataset titled Emo8, covering nearly all common emotional scenes.

• Language Models (Mostly) Do Not Consider Emotion Triggers When Predicting Emotion [87.18073195745914]
  We investigate how well human-annotated emotion triggers correlate with features deemed salient in their prediction of emotions. Using EmoTrigger, we evaluate the ability of large language models to identify emotion triggers. Our analysis reveals that emotion triggers are largely not considered salient features for emotion prediction models, instead there is intricate interplay between various features and the task of emotion detection.

  We propose a novel Scene-Object interreLated Visual Emotion Reasoning network (SOLVER) to predict emotions from images. To mine the emotional relationships between distinct objects, we first build up an Emotion Graph based on semantic concepts and visual features. We also design a Scene-Object Fusion Module to integrate scenes and objects, which exploits scene features to guide the fusion process of object features with the proposed scene-based attention mechanism.

• Recognizing Emotions evoked by Movies using Multitask Learning [3.4290619267487488]
  Methods for recognizing evoked emotions are usually trained on human annotated data. We propose two deep learning architectures: a Single-Task (ST) architecture and a Multi-Task (MT) architecture. Our results show that the MT approach can more accurately model each viewer and the aggregated annotation when compared to methods that are directly trained on the aggregated annotations.

We discuss some challenges and promising research directions in the future, such as image content and context understanding, group emotion clustering, and viewer-image interaction.
