NTDH: Complex Reasoning for Comprehensive Affective Analysis
arXiv:2608. 06425v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Comprehensive affective analysis is challenging for two reasons: it spans heterogeneous prediction tasks with continuous, ordinal, and multi-label outputs, and affective meaning is context-dependent, requiring conflicting cues to be reconciled rather than mapped directly to labels.
