Emotion plays a significant role in our daily life. Recognition of emotion is wide-spread in the field of health care and human-computer interaction. Emotion is the result of the coordinated activities of cortical and subcortical neural…

AI alignment aims to make AI systems behave in line with human intentions and values. As AI systems grow more capable, so do risks from misalignment. To provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the alignment field, in this survey,…

Emotions are a central aspect of communication. Consequently, emotion analysis (EA) is a rapidly growing field in natural language processing (NLP). However, there is no consensus on scope, direction, or methods. In this paper, we conduct a…
