arXiv:2607. 16076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal sarcasm and cyberbullying detection remain challenging because the intended meaning often emerges from incongruity between textual and visual information rather than from either modality alone.

The paper introduces ContraTalk, a benchmark that tests whether dialogue models truly use acoustic cues or rely on transcript shortcuts. It formalizes cross‑modal disagreement, creates conflict and consistent QA examples, and proposes an Audio Twin representation to expose acoustic evidence to models. Experiments show that while text‑only LLMs perform well on consistent cases, they falter on conflict cases, and AudioLLMs only partially mitigate this issue.

BiCFlow-MER introduces a conditional-flow framework for audio-text multimodal emotion recognition, treating the task as generative evidence transport within a structured emotion space. It disentangles emotion-oriented evidence from speaker style and lexical content, creating a conflict-aware affective condition that guides bidirectional rectified flow to an explicit emotion-space endpoint. The model verifies candidate emotions via adaptive prototype-cloud scoring and backward class-to-condition consistency, achieving superior performance on IEMOCAP, MELD, and the zero-shot CASE benchmark.
