Conventional face recognition relies on static appearance cues and degrades in unconstrained settings with expression variation, occlusion, and poor lighting. We hypothesize that audiovisual expression dynamics carry identity-discriminative information complementary to static appearance, and that extracting this signal requires multimodal representations robust to the variable input quality of in-the-wild video.
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.
