AtmosERC: Modeling Dialogue-Level Affective Atmosphere for Emotion Recognition in Conversation

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.26726v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Emotion Recognition in Conversation (ERC) aims to predict utterance-level emotions in dialogues and has largely advanced through context-centric modeling. However, global context is a heterogeneous signal, and not all contextual information is equally relevant to emotion prediction. This paper focuses on the affect-oriented component of this signal, termed dialogue-level affective atmosphere, which captures a latent tendency commonly reflected in conversational emotion patterns. To estimate and exploit this tendency, we propose AtmosERC, a graph-based ERC framework that models each dialogue as a conversational graph over utterances and speakers. A relation-aware graph extractor filters and fuses heterogeneous graph signals to produce dialogue
