Challenge: Existing graph-based multimodal emotion recognition methods fail to capture dynamic changes in emotions.
Approach: They propose a Dynamic Graph Neural Ordinary Differential Equation Network (DGODE) which combines dynamic changes of emotions to capture temporal dependencies of speakers’ emotions.
Outcome: The proposed model can capture the temporal dependencies caused by dynamic changes in emotions and can improve on two publicly available multimodal emotion recognition datasets.
