They Are Not the Same: Direct Causes Are Not Grounded Emotion Explanations
A new research paper published on arXiv, titled "They Are Not the Same: Direct Causes Are Not Grounded Emotion Explanations," argues that current Emotion-Cause Pair Extraction (ECPE) models often fail to provide genuine grounded emotion explanations. The study highlights that while models can identify direct triggers for emotions, they struggle to interpret contextual information that aids in understanding the emotion. This leads to models favoring simpler, direct attributions over more complex, contextually supported explanations, potentially misinterpreting performance on binary ECPE tasks as true explanatory capability.
