Challenge: Emotion recognition in conversation is inaccurate if the previous utterances are not taken into account, so many studies reflect the dialogue context to improve the performance.
Approach: They propose a method that combines pre-trained memory with the context model to improve the performance of the context models.
Outcome: The proposed method achieves the first or second performance on all data and is state-of-the-art among systems that do not leverage structured data.

MemoryPrompt: A Light Wrapper to Improve Context Tracking in Pre-trained Language Models (2024.lrec-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Transformer-based language models (LMs) track contextual information through large, hard-coded input windows.
Approach: They propose a leaner approach where a pre-trained LM is augmented with a small auxiliary recurrent network that passes information to the LM by prefixing its regular input with . vectors.
Outcome: The proposed method outperforms larger LMs with full input history on a long-distance dialogue dataset and does not suffer catastrophic forgetting when adapted to new tasks.
