• Abstract: Multimodal emotion recognition is a challenging research area that aims to fuse different modalities to predict human emotion. However, most existing models that are based on attention mechanisms have difficulty in learning emotionally relevant parts on their own. To solve this problem, we propose to incorporate external emotion-related knowledge in the co-attention based fusion of pre-trained models. To effectively incorporate this knowledge, we enhance the co-attention model with a Bayesian attention module (BAM) where a prior distribution is estimated using the emotion-related knowledge. Experimental results on the IEMOCAP dataset show that the proposed approach can outperform several state-of-the-art approaches by at least 0.7% unweighted accuracy (UA).

  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.
