arXiv:2605.20200v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This article presents a multimodal emotion recognition module integrated into a proactive Socially Interactive Agent (SIA) powered by generative artificial intelligence. The system evaluates real-time affective states through two distinct channels: a computer vision-based facial recognition module and a semantic linguistic analysis engine. To validate the framework, an empirical study was conducted with 20 users who engaged in dynamic, unscripted dialogues with the conversational agent. The findings reveal a significant discrepancy between auto
The proliferation of generative AI is pushing the need for more sophisticated and emotionally intelligent human-computer interaction, making real-time emotion recognition critical for effective agent deployment.
This study highlights the ongoing challenge and complexity of accurately integrating multimodal emotion recognition in AI agents, impacting their reliability and user trust in real-world applications.
The focus is shifting from simple task automation to nuanced, emotionally aware interactions with AI, necessitating advanced sensory and interpretative capabilities for agents.
