Emotion Experience, Expression, and Perception: Emotion Analysis on Multimodal Social Media Posts

The paper introduces the Mult2EMo dataset, which gathers annotations from both authors and readers on multimodal social media posts and the real‑world events that triggered them. It investigates how well readers can reconstruct the authors’ emotional experience from the post content, emphasizing the importance of both text and image modalities. The study finds that accurate emotion reconstruction is possible but remains challenging, especially when images dominate the expression and when understanding the triggering event is essential.
