• Abstract: Emotion Recognition in Conversations (ERC) is an important and active research problem. Recent work has shown the benefits of using multiple modalities (e.g., text, audio, and video) for the ERC task. In a conversation, participants tend to maintain a particular emotional state unless some external stimuli evokes a change. There is a continuous ebb and flow of emotions in a conversation. Inspired by this observation, we propose a multimodal ERC model and augment it with an emotion-shift component. The proposed emotion-shift component is modular and can be added to any existing multimodal ERC model (with a few modifications), to improve emotion recognition. We experiment with different variants of the model, and results show that the inclusion of emotion shift signal helps the model to outperform existing multimodal models for ERC and hence showing the state-of-the-art performance on MOSEI and IEMOCAP datasets.

  Causal Emotion Entailment (CEE) aims to identify the causal utterances in a conversation that stimulate the emotions expressed in a target utterance. Current works in CEE mainly focus on modeling semantic and emotional interactions in conversations. We introduce a step-by-step reasoning method, Emotion-Cause Reasoning Chain (ECR-Chain), to infer the stimulus from the target emotional expressions in conversations.

  Multimodal emotion recognition in conversation (MERC) and multimodal emotion-cause pair extraction (MECPE) has recently garnered significant attention. We propose a Unified Multimodal Emotion recognition and Emotion-Cause analysis framework (UniMEEC) to explore the causality and complementarity between emotion and emotion cause. UniMEEC reformulates the MERC and MECPE tasks as two mask prediction problems, enhancing the interaction between emotion and cause.

  Emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) aims to analyze the speaker's state and identify their emotion in the conversation. Recent works in ERC focus on context modeling but ignore the representation of contextual emotional tendency. We propose a new structure named Emoformer to extract multi-modal emotion vectors from different modalities and fuse them with sentence vector to be an emotion capsule.
