• Abstract summary: Existing emotion prediction benchmarks do not consider the diversity of emotions that an image and text can elicit in humans due to various reasons. We propose Socratis, a societal reactions benchmark, where each image-caption (IC) pair is annotated with multiple emotions and the reasons for feeling them. We benchmark the capability of state-of-the-art multimodal large language models to generate the reasons for feeling an emotion given an IC pair.

• Abstract: Existing emotion prediction benchmarks contain coarse emotion labels which do not consider the diversity of emotions that an image and text can elicit in humans due to various reasons. Learning diverse reactions to multimodal content is important as intelligent machines take a central role in generating and delivering content to society. To address this gap, we propose Socratis, a societal reactions benchmark, where each image-caption (IC) pair is annotated with multiple emotions and the reasons for feeling them. Socratis contains 18K free-form reactions for 980 emotions on 2075 image-caption pairs from 5 widely-read news and image-caption (IC) datasets. We benchmark the capability of state-of-the-art multimodal large language models to generate the reasons for feeling an emotion given an IC pair. Based on a preliminary human study, we observe that humans prefer human-written reasons over 2 times more often than machine-generated ones. This shows our task is harder than standard generation tasks because it starkly contrasts recent findings where humans cannot tell apart machine vs human-written news articles, for instance. We further see that current captioning metrics based on large vision-language models also fail to correlate with human preferences. We hope that these findings and our benchmark will inspire further research on training emotionally aware models.

  This study introduces MEMO-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark consisting of 7,145 portraits, each depicting one of six different emotions. Results demonstrate that existing T2I models are more effective at generating positive emotions than negative ones. Although MLLMs show a certain degree of effectiveness in distinguishing and recognizing human emotions, they fall short of human-level accuracy.

  Generative AI systems are increasingly capable of expressing emotions via text and imagery. We measure the alignment between emotions expressed by generative AI and human perceptions. We show that the alignment significantly depends upon the AI model used and the emotion itself.

  Achieving human-level recognition of the apparent emotion of a person in real world situations remains an unsolved task in computer vision. In this paper, we examine two major approaches enabled by recent large vision language models. We demonstrate that a vision language model, fine-tuned even on a small dataset, can significantly outperform traditional baselines.

  Humans consider that contextual information and different contexts can lead to completely different emotional expressions. We introduce self context-aware model (SCAM) that employs a two-dimensional emotion coordinate system for anchoring and re-labeling distinct emotions. This approach has yielded significant improvements across audio, video, and multimodal environments.

  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.
