• Abstract: There has been a significant focus on modelling emotion ambiguity in recent years, with advancements made in representing emotions as distributions to capture ambiguity. However, there has been comparatively less effort devoted to the consideration of temporal dependencies in emotion distributions which encodes ambiguity in perceived emotions that evolve smoothly over time. Recognizing the benefits of using constrained dynamical neural ordinary differential equations (CD-NODE) to model time series as dynamic processes, we propose an ambiguity-aware dual-constrained Neural ODE approach to model the dynamics of emotion distributions on arousal and valence. In our approach, we utilize ODEs parameterised by neural networks to estimate the distribution parameters, and we integrate additional constraints to restrict the range of the system outputs to ensure the validity of predicted distributions. We evaluated our proposed system on the publicly available RECOLA dataset and observed very promising performance across a range of evaluation metrics.

  Real-world systems often involve external interventions that cause changes in the system dynamics. Neural ODE and a number of its recent variants are not suitable for modeling such interventions as they do not properly model the observations and the interventions separately. We propose a novel neural ODE-based approach (IMODE) that properly model the effect of external interventions by employing two ODE functions to separately handle the observations and the interventions.
