Leveraging Self-Paced Curriculum Learning for Enhanced Modality Balance in Multimodal Conversational Emotion Recognition

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.21565v1 Announce Type: new Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversations (MERC) is a crucial task for understanding human interactions, where multimodal approaches integrating language, facial expressions, and vocal tone have achieved significant progress. However, modality misalignment and imbalanced learning remain major challenges, limiting the effective utilization of multimodal information. To address this issue, we propose a plug-and-play framework based on Self-Paced Curriculum Learning (SPCL) for MERC. We
