The goal of this study is to develop and analyze multimodal models for predicting experienced affective responses of viewers watching movie clips. We develop hybrid multimodal prediction models based on both the video and audio of the…
This paper investigates the causality in the decision making of movie recommendations through the users' affective profiles. We advocate a method of assigning emotional tags to a movie by the auto-detection of the affective features in the…
Emotion estimation in general is a field that has been studied for a long time, and several approaches exist using machine learning. in this paper, we present an LSTM model, that processes the blend-shapes produced by the library MediaPipe,…
The continuous improvement of human-computer interaction technology makes it possible to compute emotions. In this paper, we introduce our submission to the CVPR 2023 Competition on Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW). Sentiment…
In this work, we propose different variants of the self-attention based network for emotion prediction from movies, which we call AttendAffectNet. We take both audio and video into account and incorporate the relation among multiple…
The integration of information across multiple modalities and across time is a promising way to enhance the emotion recognition performance of affective systems. Much previous work has focused on instantaneous emotion recognition. The 2018…
LLM-based multimodal emotion recognition relies on static parametric memory and often hallucinates when interpreting nuanced affective states. In this paper, given that single-round retrieval-augmented generation is highly susceptible to…
Human verbal communication includes affective messages which are conveyed through use of emotionally colored words. There has been a lot of research in this direction but the problem of integrating state-of-the-art neural language models…
Movie story analysis requires understanding characters' emotions and mental states. Towards this goal, we formulate emotion understanding as predicting a diverse and multi-label set of emotions at the level of a movie scene and for each…
Multimedia documents such as text, images, sounds or videos elicit emotional responses of different polarity and intensity in exposed human subjects. These stimuli are stored in affective multimedia databases. The problem of emotion…
Vision-language models (VLMs) show promise as tools for inferring affect from visual stimuli at scale; it is not yet clear how closely their outputs align with human affective ratings. We benchmarked nine VLMs, ranging from state-of-the-art…
Multi-modal affective computing aims to automatically recognize and interpret human attitudes from diverse data sources such as images and text, thereby enhancing human-computer interaction and emotion understanding. Existing approaches…
Affect (emotion) recognition has gained significant attention from researchers in the past decade. Emotion-aware computer systems and devices have many applications ranging from interactive robots, intelligent online tutor to emotion based…
We present a method that automatically evaluates emotional response from spontaneous facial activity recorded by a depth camera. The automatic evaluation of emotional response, or affect, is a fascinating challenge with many applications,…
Stories can have tremendous power -- not only useful for entertainment, they can activate our interests and mobilize our actions. The degree to which a story resonates with its audience may be in part reflected in the emotional journey it…
Despite the abundance of current researches working on the sentiment analysis from videos and audios, finding the best model that gives the highest accuracy rate is still considered a challenge for researchers in this field. The main…
Although media content is increasingly produced, distributed, and consumed in multiple combinations of modalities, how individual modalities contribute to the perceived emotion of a media item remains poorly understood. In this paper we…
Understanding and predicting emotion from videos has gathered significant attention in recent studies, driven by advancements in video large language models (VideoLLMs). While advanced methods have made progress in video emotion analysis,…
Multimodal affective computing analyzes user-generated social media content to predict emotional states. However, a critical gap remains in understanding how visual content shapes cognitive interpretations and elicits specific affective…
Predicting the emotional impact of videos using machine learning is a challenging task considering the varieties of modalities, the complicated temporal contex of the video as well as the time dependency of the emotional states. Feature…
