DiaRelay: Relaying Dialogue Context with a Constant-Size Memory for Emotion Recognition in Conversation

DiaRelay introduces a lightweight adapter that lets large language models maintain a constant‑size dialogue‑level memory for emotion recognition in conversation. It builds on LoRA by adding a Selective Relay Memory Transition that aggregates useful historical evidence into a bounded memory, and a Dual‑axis Relay Memory Read that uses this memory to modulate low‑rank feature transformations. Experiments show DiaRelay achieves state‑of‑the‑art weighted F1 and accuracy on MELD with only 7.1 M additional trainable parameters, while also performing competitively on IEMOCAP.

Hierarchical attention interpretation: an interpretable speech-level transformer for bi-modal depression detection

The paper presents a bi‑modal speech‑level transformer that eliminates segment‑level labeling and introduces a hierarchical attention interpretation method. By using gradient‑weighted attention maps from all attention layers, the model provides both speech‑level and sentence‑level explanations of depression detection. Experimental results show the transformer outperforms a segment‑level model (p=0.854 vs. 0.732, r=0.947 vs. 0.808, F1=0.897 vs. 0.768).
