Researchers have explored using LLMs to analyze the pathos dimension in political speeches, finding that Gemini 2.5 Flash performed significantly better than traditional acoustic emotion recognition models. A case study using a speech by Felix Banaszak showed a strong correlation between Gemini's valence scores and a specialized LLM pipeline, while acoustic models showed a weak correlation. The study also highlighted limitations in standard acoustic emotion recognition datasets, such as acted speech and cultural bias, suggesting LLM-based multimodal analysis is more effective for capturing nuanced political emotion.
