Learning Emotion Representations from Verbal and Nonverbal Communication
Emotion understanding is an essential but highly challenging component of
artificial general intelligence. The absence of extensively annotated datasets
has significantly impeded advancements in this field. We present EmotionCLIP,
the first pre-training paradigm to extract visual emotion representations from
verbal and nonverbal communication using only uncurated data. Compared to
numerical labels or descriptions used in previous methods, communication
naturally contains emotion information. Furthermore, acquiring emotion
representations from communication is more congruent with the human learning
process. We guide EmotionCLIP to attend to nonverbal emotion cues through
subject-aware context encoding and verbal emotion cues using sentiment-guided
contrastive learning. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness and
transferability of EmotionCLIP. Using merely linear-probe evaluation protocol,
EmotionCLIP outperforms the state-of-the-art supervised visual emotion
recognition methods and rivals many multimodal approaches across various
benchmarks. We anticipate that the advent of EmotionCLIP will address the
prevailing issue of data scarcity in emotion understanding, thereby fostering
progress in related domains. The code and pre-trained models are available at

Furnishing the Galaxy with Pulsars
The majority of pulsar population synthesis studies performed to date have
focused on isolated pulsar evolution. Those that have incorporated pulsar
evolution within binary systems have tended to either treat binary evolution
poorly of evolve the pulsar population in an ad-hoc manner. Here we present the
first model of the Galactic field pulsar population that includes a
comprehensive treatment of both binary and pulsar evolution. Synthetic
observational surveys mimicking a variety of radio telescopes are then
performed on this population. As such, a complete and direct comparison of
model data with observations of the pulsar population within the Galactic disk
is now possible. The tool used for completing this work is a code comprised of
three components: stellar/binary evolution, Galactic kinematics and survey
selection effects. Here we give a brief overview of the method and assumptions
involved with each component. Some preliminary results are also presented as
well as plans for future applications of the code.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, Conference: "40 years of pulsars: Millisecond
