• Abstract: Emotion recognition in text, the task of identifying emotions such as joy or anger, is a challenging problem in NLP with many applications. One of the challenges is the shortage of available datasets that have been annotated with emotions. Certain existing datasets are small, follow different emotion taxonomies and display imbalance in their emotion distribution. In this work, we studied the impact of data augmentation techniques precisely when applied to small imbalanced datasets, for which current state-of-the-art models (such as RoBERTa) under-perform. Specifically, we utilized four data augmentation methods (Easy Data Augmentation EDA, static and contextual Embedding-based, and ProtAugment) on three datasets that come from different sources and vary in size, emotion categories and distributions. Our experimental results show that using the augmented data when training the classifier model leads to significant improvements. Finally, we conducted two case studies: a) directly using the popular chat-GPT API to paraphrase text using different prompts, and b) using external data to augment the training set. Results show the promising potential of these methods.

  We propose LESS, an efficient algorithm to estimate data influences and perform Low-rank gradiEnt Similarity Search for instruction data selection. We show that training on a LESS-selected 5% of the data can often outperform training on the full dataset across diverse downstream tasks. Our method goes beyond surface form cues to identify data that the necessary reasoning skills for the intended downstream application.

  The prevailing use of short videos (SVs) leads to the necessity of emotion recognition in SVs. Considering the lack of SVs emotion data, we introduce a large-scale dataset named eMotions, comprising 27,996 videos. We present an end-to-end baseline method AV-CPNet that employs the video transformer to better learn semantically relevant representations.
