COSMIC: COmmonSense knowledge for eMotion Identification in Conversations (2020.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current methods for emotion recognition in conversations often face difficulties in context propagation, emotion shift detection, and differentiating between related emotion classes. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that incorporates mental states, events, and causal relations to learn interactions between interlocutors participating in a conversation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves on four conversational benchmark datasets. |
