The paper introduces Emo-DVS, a large-scale, multimodal dataset combining event camera, audio, and text data for emotion recognition, designed to mitigate privacy concerns associated with RGB cameras. It proposes the Information‑Guided Gated Fusion (IGF) framework, which pre‑trains an event encoder on the dataset’s FAU subset, adaptively gates modalities to reduce noise, and aligns cross‑modal representations via mutual information maximization. Experiments show that IGF outperforms existing methods on this challenging tri‑modal benchmark.

arXiv:2608. 15999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic emotion assessment can benefit from combining neural and behavioral signals, but many multimodal approaches rely on separate, modality-specific feature-extraction pipelines before fusion.

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.
arXiv:2606. 00170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, emotion recognition based on physiological signals such as electroencephalogram (EEG) has gained considerable attention, as internal physiological data offer greater objectivity and reliability compared to external behavioral data like facial expressions.

The paper introduces a multimodal emotion recognition framework that combines audio and visual feature extraction with an attention-based fusion strategy. Audio features include Wav2Vec2 embeddings, MFCCs, and statistical acoustic descriptors, fused via a BiLSTM, while video features are extracted using a ResNet50-BiLSTM architecture. A multi-head attention mechanism fuses these modalities, and experiments on MELD and IEMOCAP show significant accuracy and robustness gains, especially in unbalanced data settings.
