• Abstract: Emotion dynamics modeling is a significant task in emotion recognition in conversation. It aims to predict conversational emotions when building empathetic dialogue systems. Existing studies mainly develop models based on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). They cannot benefit from the power of the recently-developed pre-training strategies for better token representation learning in conversations. More seriously, it is hard to distinguish the dependency of interlocutors and the emotional influence among interlocutors by simply assembling the features on top of RNNs. In this paper, we develop a series of BERT-based models to specifically capture the inter-interlocutor and intra-interlocutor dependencies of the conversational emotion dynamics. Concretely, we first substitute BERT for RNNs to enrich the token representations. Then, a Flat-structured BERT (F-BERT) is applied to link up utterances in a conversation directly, and a Hierarchically-structured BERT (H-BERT) is employed to distinguish the interlocutors when linking up utterances. More importantly, a Spatial-Temporal-structured BERT, namely ST-BERT, is proposed to further determine the emotional influence among interlocutors. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on two popular emotion recognition in conversation benchmark datasets and demonstrate that our proposed models can attain around 5\% and 10\% improvement over the state-of-the-art baselines, respectively.

  We propose a conversational speech emotion recognition method to deal with capturing attentive contextual dependency and speaker-sensitive interactions. First, we use a pretrained VGGish model to extract segment-based audio representation in individual utterances. Second, an attentive bi-directional recurrent unit (GRU) models contextual-sensitive information and explores intra- and inter-speaker dependencies jointly.

  Emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) aims to detect the emotion for each utterance in a given conversation.

We propose a novel ERC model CISPER with the new paradigm of prompt and language model (LM) tuning.

  We introduce and publicly release a Mandarin emotion speech dataset including 9,724 samples with audio files and its emotion human-labeled annotation. Unlike those models which need additional reference audio as input, our model could predict emotion labels just from the input text and generate more expressive speech conditioned on the emotion embedding. In the experiment phase, we first validate the effectiveness of our dataset by an emotion classification task. Then we train our model on the proposed dataset and conduct a series of subjective evaluations.
