Human emotion recognition plays a crucial role in facilitating seamless interactions between humans and computers. In this paper, we present our innovative methodology for tackling the Valence-Arousal (VA) Estimation Challenge, the…
Most research on emotion analysis from text focuses on the task of emotion classification or emotion intensity regression. Fewer works address emotions as a phenomenon to be tackled with structured learning, which can be explained by the…
The widespread adoption of automatic sentiment and emotion classifiers makes it important to ensure that these tools perform reliably across different populations. Yet their reliability is typically assessed using benchmarks that rely on…
Continuous affect prediction in the wild is a very interesting problem and is challenging as continuous prediction involves heavy computation. This paper presents the methodologies and techniques used in our contribution to predict…
This paper presents an emotion-regularized conditional variational autoencoder (Emo-CVAE) model for generating emotional conversation responses. In conventional CVAE-based emotional response generation, emotion labels are simply used as…
Attention mechanisms in deep neural networks have achieved excellent performance on sequence-prediction tasks. Here, we show that these recently-proposed attention-based mechanisms---in particular, the Transformer with its parallelizable…
Previous active inference accounts of emotion translate fluctuations in free energy to a sense of emotion, mainly focusing on valence. However, in affective science, emotions are often represented as multi-dimensional. In this paper, we…
In this paper we present a new approach for the generation of multi-instrument symbolic music driven by musical emotion. The principal novelty of our approach centres on conditioning a state-of-the-art transformer based on continuous-valued…
The lack of contextual information in text data can make the annotation process of text-based emotion classification datasets challenging. As a result, such datasets often contain labels that fail to consider all the relevant emotions in…
Our paper focuses on making use of deep neural network models to accurately predict the range of human emotions experienced during watching movies. In this certain setup, there exist three clear-cut input modalities that considerably…
Face based affective computing consists in detecting emotions from face images. It is useful to unlock better automatic comprehension of human behaviours and could pave the way toward improved human-machines interactions. However it comes…
We present a model to predict fine-grained emotions along the continuous dimensions of valence, arousal, and dominance (VAD) with a corpus with categorical emotion annotations. Our model is trained by minimizing the EMD (Earth Mover's…
Significant advances are being made in speech emotion recognition (SER) using deep learning models. Nonetheless, training SER systems remains challenging, requiring both time and costly resources. Like many other machine learning tasks,…
Emotion is essential in spoken communication, yet most existing frameworks in speech emotion modeling rely on predefined categories or low-dimensional continuous attributes, which offer limited expressive capacity. Recent advances in speech…
Time-continuous dimensional descriptions of emotions (e.g., arousal, valence) allow researchers to characterize short-time changes and to capture long-term trends in emotion expression. However, continuous emotion labels are generally not…
This paper presents our system developed for SemEval-2026 Task 2. The task requires modeling both current affect and short-term affective change in chronologically ordered user-generated texts. We explore three complementary approaches: (1)…
There are two paradigms of emotion representation, categorical labeling and dimensional description in continuous space. Therefore, the emotion recognition task can be treated as a classification or regression. The main aim of this study is…
Emotions lie on a broad continuum and treating emotions as a discrete number of classes limits the ability of a model to capture the nuances in the continuum. The challenge is how to describe the nuances of emotions and how to enable a…
Speech emotion recognition~(SER) refers to the technique of inferring the emotional state of an individual from speech signals. SERs continue to garner interest due to their wide applicability. Although the domain is mainly founded on…
Estimating dimensional emotions, such as activation, valence and dominance, from acoustic speech signals has been widely explored over the past few years. While accurate estimation of activation and dominance from speech seem to be…
