• Abstract: Sentiment analysis and emotion recognition are crucial for applications such as human-computer interaction and depression detection. Traditional unimodal methods often fail to capture the complexity of emotional expressions due to conflicting signals from different modalities. Current Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) also face challenges in detecting subtle facial expressions and addressing a wide range of emotion-related tasks. To tackle these issues, we propose M2SE, a Multistage Multitask Sentiment and Emotion Instruction Tuning Strategy for general-purpose MLLMs. It employs a combined approach to train models on tasks such as multimodal sentiment analysis, emotion recognition, facial expression recognition, emotion reason inference, and emotion cause-pair extraction. We also introduce the Emotion Multitask dataset (EMT), a custom dataset that supports these five tasks. Our model, Emotion Universe (EmoVerse), is built on a basic MLLM framework without modifications, yet it achieves substantial improvements across these tasks when trained with the M2SE strategy. Extensive experiments demonstrate that EmoVerse outperforms existing methods, achieving state-of-the-art results in sentiment and emotion tasks. These results highlight the effectiveness of M2SE in enhancing multimodal emotion perception. The dataset and code are available at https://github.com/xiaoyaoxinyi/M2SE.
