ViTOED: A Dataset for Target-Oriented Emotion Detection on Vietnamese Social Media Texts

ViTOED is a new dataset for target‑oriented emotion detection in Vietnamese social media, containing 10,985 user comments and 21,244 manually annotated opinion quadruples (source, target, expression, polarity). The dataset uncovers Vietnamese‑specific linguistic phenomena such as implicit sources and targets and vocabulary ambiguities, and it serves as a benchmark for evaluating Vietnamese pre‑trained language models. A baseline using structured sentiment graphs shows that span detection and relation extraction remain challenging, indicating significant room for improvement in Vietnamese target‑oriented emotion detection tasks.

Cross-Modal Emotion Understanding: A Transformer-GAT Approach for Dialogue Emotion Recognition

Cross-Modal Emotion Understanding: A Transformer-GAT Approach for Dialogue Emotion Recognition proposes a hybrid framework that combines a Transformer and a Graph Attention Network to capture both global semantic information and fine-grained relationships between modalities. The model is evaluated on the IEMOCAP and MELD datasets, achieving weighted F1 scores of 72.45% and 77.37%, respectively, and surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods. These results suggest that integrating multimodal features with balanced global and local context modeling can provide deeper emotional insights for dialogue emotion recognition.

Quantifying Affective Bias in Low-Resource Media: Large-Scale Emotion Profiling of Bengali Headlines

The paper investigates affective framing in Bengali digital journalism by analyzing 300,000 news headlines with zero‑shot inference using Gemma 3 4B to estimate dominant emotions and overall affective tone. Results reveal frequent negative emotions—especially anger, sadness, disappointment, and fear—across the corpus, and a pilot validation on 200 headlines indicates the model’s estimates are useful yet not definitive benchmarks. The authors suggest a bias‑sensitive news interface that visualizes emotional cues to help readers detect affective framing patterns in daily news.

YNU-HPCC at SemEval-2025 Task 11: Bridging the Gap in Text-Based Emotion Using Multiple Prediction Headers

The YNU-HPCC team participated in Subtask A of SemEval‑2025 Task 11, "Bridging the Gap in Text‑Based Emotion," using a RoBERTa model with a single prediction head to process one emotion at a time. Their system achieved an official ranking score of 0.44 across all languages after translating the dataset into English with Google Translate. Analysis showed that a single head outperformed six simultaneous heads and that training on the uniformly translated English data improved results.
