• Abstract: Owing to the recent developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLM), conversational agents are becoming increasingly popular and accepted. They provide a human touch by interacting in ways familiar to us and by providing support as virtual companions. Therefore, it is important to understand the user's emotions in order to respond considerately. Compared to the standard problem of emotion recognition, conversational agents face an additional constraint in that recognition must be real-time. Studies on model architectures using audio, visual, and textual modalities have mainly focused on emotion classification using full video sequences that do not provide online features. In this work, we present a novel paradigm for contextualized Emotion Recognition using Graph Convolutional Network with Reinforcement Learning (conER-GRL). Conversations are partitioned into smaller groups of utterances for effective extraction of contextual information. The system uses Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) to extract multimodal features from these groups of utterances. More importantly, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents are cascade trained to capture the complex dependencies of emotion features in interactive scenarios. Comparing the results of the conER-GRL model with other state-of-the-art models on the benchmark dataset IEMOCAP demonstrates the advantageous capabilities of the conER-GRL architecture in recognizing emotions in real-time from multimodal conversational signals.
