• Authors: Jinming Zhao, Ruichen Li, Qin Jin, Xinchao Wang, Haizhou Li
• Abstract summary: We propose a pre-training model textbfMEmoBERT for multimodal emotion recognition. Unlike the conventional "pre-train, finetune" paradigm, we propose a prompt-based method that reformulates the downstream emotion classification task as a masked text prediction. Our proposed MEmoBERT significantly enhances emotion recognition performance.

• Abstract: Multimodal emotion recognition study is hindered by the lack of labelled corpora in terms of scale and diversity, due to the high annotation cost and label ambiguity. In this paper, we propose a pre-training model \textbf{MEmoBERT} for multimodal emotion recognition, which learns multimodal joint representations through self-supervised learning from large-scale unlabeled video data that come in sheer volume. Furthermore, unlike the conventional "pre-train, finetune" paradigm, we propose a prompt-based method that reformulates the downstream emotion classification task as a masked text prediction one, bringing the downstream task closer to the pre-training. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets, IEMOCAP and MSP-IMPROV, show that our proposed MEmoBERT significantly enhances emotion recognition performance.

  Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversations (MERC) is a significant development direction for machine intelligence. Many data in MERC naturally exhibit an imbalanced distribution of emotion categories, and researchers ignore the negative impact of imbalanced data on emotion recognition. We propose the Class Boundary Enhanced Representation Learning (CBERL) model to address the imbalanced distribution of emotion categories in raw data. We have conducted extensive experiments on the IEMOCAP and MELD benchmark datasets, and the results show that CBERL has achieved a certain performance improvement in the effectiveness of emotion recognition.

We propose unbiased Dense Contrastive Visual-Linguistic Pretraining to replace the region regression and classification with cross-modality region contrastive learning.
