arXiv:2606. 09837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emotional interaction is increasingly crucial for conversational AI, yet current systems lack a self-emotion determination mechanism to drive the streaming text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis.

arXiv:2603. 25031v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In psychological support and emotional companionship scenarios, the core limitation of large language models (LLMs) lies not merely in response quality, but in their reliance on local next-token prediction, which prevents them from maintaining the temporal continuity, stage awareness, and user consent boundaries required for multi-turn intervention.

arXiv:2607. 28648v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for emotional support tasks, such as negative thought reframing.

arXiv:2508. 09521v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Emotional support conversations require more than fluent responses.

arXiv:2608. 07495v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Effective communication during palliative care discussions is a critical clinical skill, yet training clinicians to manage complex patient emotions remains challenging.

arXiv:2607. 17564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI companions are judged not only by single-turn fluency but by whether they sustain emotional continuity: remembering who the companion is, what the user prefers, and how the relationship has felt.

arXiv:2606. 15532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emotional intelligence (EI) in Large Language Models (LLMs) is often evaluated through static understanding tasks or single-response dialogue generation.

arXiv:2507. 10599v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) increasingly power conversational agents, understanding how they model users' emotional states is critical for ethical deployment.

arXiv:2602. 23802v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown remarkable progress in visual reasoning and understanding tasks but still struggle to capture the complexity and subjectivity of human emotions.

arXiv:2606. 00851v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Empathetic spoken dialogue systems must infer a user's emotional state to respond appropriately, yet everyday speech often carries weak, neutral, or ambiguous affective cues.
