New framework enhances multimodal emotion recognition with missing data

Researchers have developed a new framework called Affect-Prototype-Conditioned Fusion (APCF) to improve open-vocabulary multimodal emotion recognition, particularly when some data modalities are missing. This candidate-free generative framework uses an affect-prototype library to dynamically constrain modal fusion based on diverse emotional semantics. Experiments on the OV-MERD+ and MER-FG datasets show that APCF significantly outperforms existing methods. AI

IMPACT Improves AI's ability to understand emotions from incomplete multimodal data, potentially enhancing human-AI interaction.

    Affect-Prototype Guided Fusion for Open-Vocabulary Incomplete Multi-modal Emotion Recognition

    arXiv:2609.16962v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-vocabulary multimodal emotion recognition (OV-MER) aims to generate open natural-language emotion labels from multimodal affective cues. In real-world scenarios, however, complete and synchronized modal data are difficult to ob…
