• Title: Reevaluating Data Partitioning for Emotion Detection in EmoWOZ
• Authors: Moeen Mostafavi, Michael D. Porter
• Abstract summary: EmoWoz is an extension of MultiWOZ that provides emotion labels for the dialogues. MultiWOZ was partitioned initially for another purpose, resulting in a distributional shift when considering the new purpose of emotion recognition. We propose a stratified sampling scheme based on emotion tags to address this issue, improve the dataset's distribution, and reduce dataset shift.

• Abstract: This paper focuses on the EmoWoz dataset, an extension of MultiWOZ that provides emotion labels for the dialogues. MultiWOZ was partitioned initially for another purpose, resulting in a distributional shift when considering the new purpose of emotion recognition. The emotion tags in EmoWoz are highly imbalanced and unevenly distributed across the partitions, which causes sub-optimal performance and poor comparison of models. We propose a stratified sampling scheme based on emotion tags to address this issue, improve the dataset's distribution, and reduce dataset shift. We also introduce a special technique to handle conversation (sequential) data with many emotional tags. Using our proposed sampling method, models built upon EmoWoz can perform better, making it a more reliable resource for training conversational agents with emotional intelligence. We recommend that future researchers use this new partitioning to ensure consistent and accurate performance evaluations.

  Emotion expression and perception are nuanced, complex, and highly subjective processes. Most speech emotion recognition tasks address this by averaging annotator labels as ground truth. Previous work has attempted to learn distributions to capture emotion variability, but these methods also lose information about the individual annotators. We introduce a novel method to create distributions from continuous model outputs that permit the learning of emotion distributions during model training.

  The purpose of emotion-cause pair extraction is to extract the pair of emotion clauses and cause clauses.

We propose an end-to-end multitasking model (MM-ECPE) based on shared interaction between GRU, knowledge graph and transformer modules.

  We investigate how well human-annotated emotion triggers correlate with features deemed salient in their prediction of emotions. Using EmoTrigger, we evaluate the ability of large language models to identify emotion triggers. Our analysis reveals that emotion triggers are largely not considered salient features for emotion prediction models, instead there is intricate interplay between various features and the task of emotion detection.
