Retrieving Implicit and Explicit Emotional Events Using Large Language Models
It addresses an unexplored aspect of LLM performance in emotion retrieval for commonsense applications, but is incremental in nature.
This study tackled the problem of evaluating large language models' capabilities in retrieving implicit and explicit emotional events, finding that they offer insights into strengths and limitations through systematic experiments.
Large language models (LLMs) have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their impressive performance. While considerable research has evaluated these models from various perspectives, the extent to which LLMs can perform implicit and explicit emotion retrieval remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, this study investigates LLMs' emotion retrieval capabilities in commonsense. Through extensive experiments involving multiple models, we systematically evaluate the ability of LLMs on emotion retrieval. Specifically, we propose a supervised contrastive probing method to verify LLMs' performance for implicit and explicit emotion retrieval, as well as the diversity of the emotional events they retrieve. The results offer valuable insights into the strengths and limitations of LLMs in handling emotion retrieval.
