• Abstract: The first Multimodal Emotion Recognition Challenge (MER 2023) was successfully held at ACM Multimedia. The challenge focuses on system robustness and consists of three distinct tracks: (1) MER-MULTI, where participants are required to recognize both discrete and dimensional emotions; (2) MER-NOISE, in which noise is added to test videos for modality robustness evaluation; (3) MER-SEMI, which provides a large amount of unlabeled samples for semi-supervised learning. In this paper, we introduce the motivation behind this challenge, describe the benchmark dataset, and provide some statistics about participants. To continue using this dataset after MER 2023, please sign a new End User License Agreement and send it to our official email address merchallenge.contact@gmail.com. We believe this high-quality dataset can become a new benchmark in multimodal emotion recognition, especially for the Chinese research community.

  We present our winning approach for the MER-NOISE and MER-OV tracks of the MER2024 Challenge on multimodal emotion recognition. Our system leverages the advanced emotional understanding capabilities of Emotion-LLaMA to generate high-quality annotations for unlabeled samples. For the MER-OV track, our utilization of Emotion-LLaMA for open-vocabulary annotation yields an 8.52% improvement in average accuracy and recall compared to GPT-4V.
