• Abstract: In this paper, we present our advanced solutions to the two sub-challenges of Affective Behavior Analysis in the wild (ABAW) 2023: the Emotional Reaction Intensity (ERI) Estimation Challenge and Expression (Expr) Classification Challenge. ABAW 2023 aims to tackle the challenge of affective behavior analysis in natural contexts, with the ultimate goal of creating intelligent machines and robots that possess the ability to comprehend human emotions, feelings, and behaviors. For the Expression Classification Challenge, we propose a streamlined approach that handles the challenges of classification effectively. However, our main contribution lies in our use of diverse models and tools to extract multimodal features such as audio and video cues from the Hume-Reaction dataset. By studying, analyzing, and combining these features, we significantly enhance the model's accuracy for sentiment prediction in a multimodal context. Furthermore, our method achieves outstanding results on the Emotional Reaction Intensity (ERI) Estimation Challenge, surpassing the baseline method by an impressive 84\% increase, as measured by the Pearson Coefficient, on the validation dataset.

  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.
