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.

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.

The paper introduces CHIARO, a 1,000-sentence benchmark for contrastive emotion inference grounded in appraisal theory, where each scenario elicits a positive emotion in one person and a negative emotion in another. The dataset covers ten emotion classes and is human‑annotated. Evaluation shows that the best large language model achieves 67.3 macro‑F1, below human agreement, while existing emotion classifiers perform near chance. When used as a training signal alongside an existing emotion corpus, models improve on CHIARO and on six of ten external emotion benchmarks, demonstrating its value as a complementary training resource.

The paper introduces EmoVec, a lightweight framework that enables controllable affective generation in large language models by steering latent vectors. EmoVec identifies emotion-specific directions from paired neutral and emotion-conditioned responses using contrastive activation addition, then refines these directions through task-specific debiasing and principal subspace removal. During inference, the refined vectors are injected into the final residual stream with static or scenario-adaptive scaling, allowing continuous control over emotional intensity without updating model weights, and experiments across three LLMs and eight emotions demonstrate improved emotional salience while preserving semantic content, fluency, and coherence.
