Attention-based Multi-modal Sentiment Analysis and Emotion Detection in Conversation using RNN

The availability of an enormous quantity of multimodal data and its widespread applications, automatic sentiment analysis and emotion classification in the conversation has become an interesting research topic among the research community. The interlocutor state, context state between the neighboring utterances and multimodal fusion play an important role in multimodal sentiment analysis and emotion detection in conversation. In this article, the recurrent neural network (RNN) based method is developed to capture the interlocutor state and contextual state between the utterances. The pair-wise attention mechanism is used to understand the relationship between the modalities and their importance before fusion. First, two-two combinations of modalities are fused at a time and finally, all the modalities are fused to form the trimodal representation feature vector. The experiments are conducted on three standard datasets such as IEMOCAP, CMU-MOSEI, and CMU-MOSI. The proposed model is evaluated using two metrics such as accuracy and F1-Score and the results demonstrate that the proposed model performs better than the standard baselines

Multimodal Sentiment Analysis Based on Deep Learning: Recent Progress

Multimodal sentiment analysis is an important research topic in the field of NLP, aiming to analyze speakers\u27 sentiment tendencies through features extracted from textual, visual, and acoustic modalities. Its main methods are based on machine learning and deep learning. Machine learning-based methods rely heavily on labeled data. But deep learning-based methods can overcome this shortcoming and capture the in-depth semantic information and modal characteristics of the data, as well as the interactive information between multimodal data. In this paper, we survey the deep learning-based methods, including fusion of text and image and fusion of text, image, audio, and video. Specifically, we discuss the main problems of these methods and the future directions. Finally, we review the work of multimodal sentiment analysis in conversation

Critical Analysis on Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Meeting the Requirements for Next Generation Human Computer Interactions

Emotion recognition is the gap in today’s Human Computer Interaction (HCI). These systems lack the ability to effectively recognize, express and feel emotion limits in their human interaction. They still lack the better sensitivity to human emotions. Multi modal emotion recognition attempts to addresses this gap by measuring emotional state from gestures, facial expressions, acoustic characteristics, textual expressions. Multi modal data acquired from video, audio, sensors etc. are combined using various techniques to classify basis human emotions like happiness, joy, neutrality, surprise, sadness, disgust, fear, anger etc. This work presents a critical analysis of multi modal emotion recognition approaches in meeting the requirements of next generation human computer interactions. The study first explores and defines the requirements of next generation human computer interactions and critically analyzes the existing multi modal emotion recognition approaches in addressing those requirements
