Emotion Recognition in Signers

arXiv:2512. 15376v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recognition of signers' emotions suffers from one theoretical challenge and one practical challenge, namely, the overlap between grammatical and affective facial expressions and the scarcity of data for model training.

Textualized and Feature-based Models for Compound Multimodal Emotion Recognition in the Wild

The paper compares text‑based and feature‑based models for recognizing compound emotions in real‑world videos. It proposes textualizing non‑verbal cues from audio and visual modalities into text to leverage large language models, while feature‑based models directly combine extracted multimodal features. Experiments on the C‑EXPR‑DB dataset show that feature‑based models outperform textualization in the wild, though textual models can excel when rich transcripts are available.
