• Abstract: Having the ability to empathize is crucial for accurately representing human behavior during conversations. Despite numerous research aim to improve the cognitive capability of models by incorporating external knowledge, there has been limited attention on the sensible and rational expression of the conversation itself, which are crucial components of the cognitive empathy. Guided by self-presentation theory in sociology, we have designed an innovative categorical approach that segregates historical dialogues into sensible and rational sentences and subsequently elucidate the context through the designed attention mechanism. However, the rational information within the conversation is restricted and the external knowledge used in previous methods have limitations of semantic contradiction and narrow vision field. Considering the impressive performance of LLM in the domain of intelligent agent. We employ LLaMA2-70b as a rational brain to analyze the profound logical information maintained in conversations, which assists the model assessing the balance of sensibility and rationality to produce quality empathetic responses. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that our method outperforms other comparable methods on both automatic and human evaluations.

  We find that large language models (LLMs) naturally form hierarchical emotion trees that align with human psychological models.<n>We also uncover systematic biases in emotion recognition across socioeconomic personas, with compounding misclassifications for intersectional, underrepresented groups.<n>Our results hint at the potential of using cognitively-grounded theories for developing better model evaluations.

  Social media has become a major conduit for information dissemination, yet it also facilitates the rapid spread of misinformation. Traditional misinformation detection methods primarily focus on surface-level features, overlooking the crucial roles of human empathy in the propagation process. We propose the Dual-Aspect Empathy Framework (DAE), which integrates cognitive and emotional empathy to analyze misinformation from both the creator and reader perspectives.

  Empathetic response generation endows agents with the capability to comprehend dialogue contexts and react to expressed emotions.

We propose a cause-aware empathetic generation approach by integrating emotions and causes through a well-designed Chain-of-Thought prompt.

Our findings provide a proof-in-concept that even a LLM can learn about emotions in the absence of sensory-motor representations and highlight the contribution of language-derived emotion-concept knowledge for emotion inference.
