📝 摘要(中文)
在多模态对话情感识别(MERC)中,有效捕捉一致性和互补语义特征至关重要。现有方法主要利用图结构建模对话上下文的语义依赖,并采用图神经网络(GNN)提取多模态语义特征。然而,这些方法受到GNN固有特性的限制,如过平滑和低通滤波,导致无法有效学习长距离一致性信息和互补信息。本文从图谱的角度重新审视多模态情感识别问题,提出了一种基于图谱的多模态一致性与互补协同学习框架GS-MCC。该框架通过滑动窗口构建多模态交互图,利用傅里叶图算子提取长距离的高频和低频信息,并通过对比学习构建自监督信号,最终实现情感预测。大量实验验证了GS-MCC架构在两个基准数据集上的优越性。

📄 摘要(原文)
Efficiently capturing consistent and complementary semantic features in a multimodal conversation context is crucial for Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversation (MERC). Existing methods mainly use graph structures to model dialogue context semantic dependencies and employ Graph Neural Networks (GNN) to capture multimodal semantic features for emotion recognition. However, these methods are limited by some inherent characteristics of GNN, such as over-smoothing and low-pass filtering, resulting in the inability to learn long-distance consistency information and complementary information efficiently. Since consistency and complementarity information correspond to low-frequency and high-frequency information, respectively, this paper revisits the problem of multimodal emotion recognition in conversation from the perspective of the graph spectrum. Specifically, we propose a Graph-Spectrum-based Multimodal Consistency and Complementary collaborative learning framework GS-MCC. First, GS-MCC uses a sliding window to construct a multimodal interaction graph to model conversational relationships and uses efficient Fourier graph operators to extract long-distance high-frequency and low-frequency information, respectively. Then, GS-MCC uses contrastive learning to construct self-supervised signals that reflect complementarity and consistent semantic collaboration with high and low-frequency signals, thereby improving the ability of high and low-frequency information to reflect real emotions. Finally, GS-MCC inputs the collaborative high and low-frequency information into the MLP network and softmax function for emotion prediction. Extensive experiments have proven the superiority of the GS-MCC architecture proposed in this paper on two benchmark data sets.
