Leveraging Self-Paced Curriculum Learning for Enhanced Modality Balance in Multimodal Conversational Emotion Recognition
arXiv:2605.21565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversations (MERC) is a crucial task for understanding human interactions, where multimodal approaches integrating language, facial expressions, and vocal tone have achieved significant progress. However, modality misalignment and imbalanced learning remain major challenges, limiting the effective utilization of multimodal information. To address this issue, we propose a plug-and-play framework based on Self-Paced Curriculum Learning (SPCL) for MERC. We introduce a dual-level Difficulty Measurer that captures b
The continuous improvement in AI models for understanding human interaction, coupled with the need for more robust and reliable systems, drives the development of advanced techniques like self-paced curriculum learning for MERC.
Improving the accuracy and robustness of multimodal emotion recognition is crucial for the advancement of sophisticated AI agents and human-computer interaction across various applications.
This framework offers a method to better integrate disparate modalities in conversational AI, potentially leading to more nuanced and effective emotional intelligence in AI systems.

The ability of AI to more accurately perceive human emotions in real-time conversations is enhanced.
Improved emotional intelligence in AI drives more natural and empathetic interactions in AI-driven services and products.
Widespread adoption could lead to ethical considerations regarding AI's ability to 'read' and perhaps manipulate human emotions.
