We address the Ambivalence/Hesitancy (A/H) Video Recognition Challenge at the 10th ABAW Competition (CVPR 2026). We propose a divergence-based multimodal fusion that explicitly measures cross-modal conflict between visual, audio, and…

Ambivalence/hesitancy recognition in unconstrained videos is a challenging problem due to the subtle, multimodal, and context-dependent nature of this behavioral state. In this paper, a multimodal approach for video-level…
