Generic pre-trained speech and text representations promise to reduce the need for large labeled datasets on specific speech and language tasks. However, it is not clear how to effectively adapt these representations for speech emotion…

Audio-visual emotion recognition (AVER) methods typically fuse utterance-level features, and even frame-level attention models seldom address the frame-rate mismatch across modalities. In this paper, we propose a Transformer-based framework…

Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) have enabled impressive multi-modal reasoning and understanding. Yet, whether these models truly grasp visual persuasion-how visual cues shape human attitudes and decisions-remains unclear.…

Interactional synchrony refers to how the speech or behavior of two or more people involved in a conversation become more finely synchronized with each other, and they can appear to behave almost in direct response to one another. Studies…
