• Abstract: Multimodal Emotion Recognition refers to the classification of input video sequences into emotion labels based on multiple input modalities (usually video, audio and text). In recent years, Deep Neural networks have shown remarkable performance in recognizing human emotions, and are on par with human-level performance on this task. Despite the recent advancements in this field, emotion recognition systems are yet to be accepted for real world setups due to the obscure nature of their reasoning and decision-making process. Most of the research in this field deals with novel architectures to improve the performance for this task, with a few attempts at providing explanations for these models' decisions. In this paper, we address the issue of interpretability for neural networks in the context of emotion recognition using Concept Activation Vectors (CAVs). To analyse the model's latent space, we define human-understandable concepts specific to Emotion AI and map them to the widely-used IEMOCAP multimodal database. We then evaluate the influence of our proposed concepts at multiple layers of the Bi-directional Contextual LSTM (BC-LSTM) network to show that the reasoning process of neural networks for emotion recognition can be represented using human-understandable concepts. Finally, we perform hypothesis testing on our proposed concepts to show that they are significant for interpretability of this task.

  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.
