Vision-language models struggle with emotion recognition due to data bias and temporal limitations

A new paper explores why vision-language models (VLMs) struggle with recognizing human emotions, despite advancements in AI. The research identifies two key vulnerabilities: the long-tailed nature of emotion datasets, which VLMs exacerbate by collapsing rare emotions into common categories, and the models' inability to process temporal information from dense frame sequences due to context size limitations. To address these issues, the paper proposes alternative sampling strategies and a multi-stage context enrichment method that converts intermediate frames into natural language summaries to preserve emotional trajectories.
