EmoPrefer: Can Large Language Models Understand Human Emotion Preferences?

ICLR 2026poster

Descriptive Multimodal Emotion Recognition (DMER) has garnered increasing research attention. Unlike traditional discriminative paradigms that rely on predefined emotion taxonomies, DMER aims to describe human emotional state using free-form natural language, enabling finer-grained and more interpre…

MME-Emotion: A Holistic Evaluation Benchmark for Emotional Intelligence in Multimodal Large Language Models

ICLR 2026poster

Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have catalyzed transformative progress in affective computing, enabling models to exhibit emergent emotional intelligence. Despite substantial methodological progress, current emotional benchmarks remain limited, as it is still unknown: (a)…

ViSA-Gait: Leveraging Vision Foundation Models for Semantic Anchored Gait Recognition

IJCAI 2026

Gait recognition has achieved remarkable success in constrained environments, yet its performance often degrades significantly in cross-domain and cross-vertical-view scenarios. This is primarily due to the fact that domain-specific silhouette geometry causes models to overfit to extrinsic geometric

AffectGPT: A New Dataset, Model, and Benchmark for Emotion Understanding with Multimodal Large Language Models

ICML 2025oral

The emergence of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) advances multimodal emotion recognition (MER) to the next level—from naive discriminative tasks to complex emotion understanding with advanced video understanding abilities and natural language description. However, the current community suff…

DREAM: Decoupled Discriminative Learning with Bigraph-aware Alignment for Semi-supervised 2D-3D Cross-modal Retrieval

AAAI 2025technical

With the burst of big data, 2D-3D cross-modal retrieval has received increasing attention, which aims to retrieve relevant data from one modality given the query from the other modality. In this paper, we study an underexplored yet practical problem of semi-supervised 2D-3D cross-modal retrieval, wh…

Emotion-LLaMA: Multimodal Emotion Recognition and Reasoning with Instruction Tuning

NeurIPS 2024poster

Accurate emotion perception is crucial for various applications, including human-computer interaction, education, and counseling. However, traditional single-modality approaches often fail to capture the complexity of real-world emotional expressions, which are inherently multimodal. Moreover, exist…
