EII-SCL: Harnessing Emotional Inertia for Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversation

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.17366v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal emotion recognition in conversation (MERC) achieves accurate predictions by integrating multimodal and contextual information in dialogues. While current MERC approaches focus on modeling complex contextual dependencies in conversation, they often overlook the impact of contextual emotional inertia in emotion shift, leading to sub-optimal performance. To address this issue, we propose a novel Emotional Inertia-Informed Supervised Contrastive Learning module (EII-SCL) that informs the contrastive objective by constructing inertia-affected samples within temporal windows, effectively leveraging emotional inertia as a prior while enabling seamless integration with existing MERC models without requiring additional data.
