• Abstract: This paper proposes a multimodal emotion recognition system, VIsual Spoken Textual Additive Net (VISTANet), to classify emotions reflected by input containing image, speech, and text into discrete classes. A new interpretability technique, K-Average Additive exPlanation (KAAP), has been developed that identifies important visual, spoken, and textual features leading to predicting a particular emotion class. The VISTANet fuses information from image, speech, and text modalities using a hybrid of early and late fusion. It automatically adjusts the weights of their intermediate outputs while computing the weighted average. The KAAP technique computes the contribution of each modality and corresponding features toward predicting a particular emotion class. To mitigate the insufficiency of multimodal emotion datasets labeled with discrete emotion classes, we have constructed a large-scale IIT-R MMEmoRec dataset consisting of images, corresponding speech and text, and emotion labels ('angry,' 'happy,' 'hate,' and 'sad'). The VISTANet has resulted in 95.99% emotion recognition accuracy on the IIT-R MMEmoRec dataset using visual, audio, and textual modalities, outperforming when using any one or two modalities. The IIT-R MMEmoRec dataset can be accessed at https://github.com/MIntelligence-Group/MMEmoRec.

  Multimodal Emotional Text-to-Speech System (MM-TTS) is a unified framework that leverages emotional cues from multiple modalities to generate highly expressive and emotionally resonant speech. MM-TTS consists of two key components: the Emotion Prompt Alignment Module (EP-Align), which employs contrastive learning to align emotional features across text, audio, and visual modalities, and the Emotion Embedding-Induced TTS (EMI-TTS), which integrates the aligned emotional embeddings with state-of-the-art TTS models to synthesize speech that accurately reflects the intended emotions.

In the second stage, the descriptions are used as contextual information and, along with the image input, are used to train a transformer-based architecture.

  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.
