Do Visual Features Improve Other-Initiated Repair Detection? A Dyadic Multimodal Approach

arXiv:2607. 23845v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Other-initiated Self-repair, or in short Other-initiated Repair (OIR), is an essential mechanism in conversational interaction, whereby a recipient signals a problem in speaking, hearing, or understanding, prompting the previous speaker to resolve it.

Multi-turn Conversational AI from Text to Multimodal Interaction: Data, Models, Evaluation, and Open Challenges

The article surveys multi‑turn conversational AI, highlighting its shift from isolated text prompts to sustained, multimodal interactions that involve clarifying goals, revising requests, and switching topics. It reviews literature across text‑only dialogue, AudioLLMs, multimodal and omni‑modal systems, and tool‑augmented agents, organizing findings around datasets, models, training, evaluation, and cross‑cutting challenges. The analysis reveals that while multimodal perception and action have progressed rapidly, systems still struggle with persistent memory, cross‑turn grounding, full‑duplex interaction, robust evaluation, and cultural alignment.

Team RAS in 11th ABAW Competition: Multimodal Ambivalence Recognition Approach

arXiv:2607. 14702v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic recognition of ambivalence and hesitancy is challenging because these states may be expressed through inconsistent linguistic, acoustic, facial, and contextual patterns, while top-performing systems often rely on computationally expensive ensembles.
