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.

We present an audio-text system for the Ambivalence/Hesitancy Video Recognition Challenge of the 11th ABAW Competition. The method excludes visual frames and represents each video as overlapping 5-second windows aligned with transcript timestamps.
arXiv:2606. 02679v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal systems often benefit from combining information across language, sound, and visual streams, but this benefit is not guaranteed.

arXiv:2606. 11930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting psychological traits from asynchronous video interviews (AVIs) is a challenging multimodal learning problem because labeled datasets are limited while each response contains high-dimensional visual, acoustic, and verbal signals.

In this paper, we present the solution developed by our team, XInsight Lab, which achieved first place in Track 3 of the 4th EI-MIGA-IJCAI Challenge with a test accuracy of 0. 76923.
Conventional face recognition relies on static appearance cues and degrades in unconstrained settings with expression variation, occlusion, and poor lighting. We hypothesize that audiovisual expression dynamics carry identity-discriminative information complementary to static appearance, and that extracting this signal requires multimodal representations robust to the variable input quality of in-the-wild video.

Understanding both expressed and evoked emotions is critical for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to achieve comprehensive affect-aware interactions. However, existing benchmarks typically examine expressed and evoked emotions in isolation or are constrained to coarse-grained and incomplete affective characterizations.
