ReH-FUSE: Reliability-Aware Hierarchical Fusion of Experts for Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversation

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

ReH-FUSE is a reliability‑aware hierarchical fusion framework for multimodal emotion recognition in conversation. It uses a decision‑level router to first compare the relative preference between text and audio, then balances this unimodal mixture with a cross‑modal expert, thereby separating unimodal competition from cross‑modal selection. Experiments on IEMOCAP and MELD show that ReH-FUSE achieves state‑of‑the‑art weighted and macro F1 scores, and ablation studies confirm that learned routing outperforms uniform expert averaging and benefits from cross‑modal interaction.

RAFM-SER++: A Lightweight Multimodal Emotion Recognition Framework for Real-Time Behavioral Monitoring in Surveillance Systems

The paper introduces RAFM-SER++, a lightweight multimodal speech emotion recognition framework designed for real‑time surveillance systems. It replaces heavy bidirectional cross‑modal transformers with an asymmetric Residual Attention Fusion Mechanism that injects affective speech cues into text representations via a one‑directional residual attention pathway. Experiments on IEMOCAP and ESD show RAFM‑SER++ outperforms the HuBERT‑Base baseline and MemoCMT, reducing trainable parameters by over 60%, achieving 79.60 it/s inference speed, and reaching BACC scores of 81.10% on IEMOCAP and 95.39% on ESD.
