Researchers have developed FACES, a new framework designed to enhance multimodal emotional support conversations. This system addresses limitations in current models by improving semantic feedback, managing cross-dimension reward compensation, and refining reasoning supervision. FACES integrates multi-source rewards for alignment signals and uses a gated fusion mechanism to prevent reward offsets, along with Chain-of-Thought anchors for token-level credit assignment. Evaluations show FACES significantly improves MLLM-based scores and achieves a high pairwise win rate against state-of-the-art systems, with strong performance also observed in human evaluations and on external datasets.
