Nuanced Emotion Recognition Based on a Segment-based MLLM Framework Leveraging Qwen3-Omni for AH Detection
This addresses emotion recognition for behavioral intervention and digital health, but is incremental as it applies existing MLLM techniques to a specific domain.
The paper tackles the problem of recognizing nuanced emotional states like Ambivalence and Hesitancy in videos by proposing a segment-based framework using Multimodal Large Language Models, achieving 85.1% accuracy on the test set.
Emotion recognition in videos is a pivotal task in affective computing, where identifying subtle psychological states such as Ambivalence and Hesitancy holds significant value for behavioral intervention and digital health. Ambivalence and Hesitancy states often manifest through cross-modal inconsistencies such as discrepancies between facial expressions, vocal tones, and textual semantics, posing a substantial challenge for automated recognition. This paper proposes a recognition framework that integrates temporal segment modeling with Multimodal Large Language Models. To address computational efficiency and token constraints in long video processing, we employ a segment-based strategy, partitioning videos into short clips with a maximum duration of 5 seconds. We leverage the Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B model, fine-tuned on the BAH dataset using LoRA and full-parameter strategies via the MS-Swift framework, enabling the model to synergistically analyze visual and auditory signals. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 85.1% on the test set, significantly outperforming existing benchmarks and validating the superior capability of Multimodal Large Language Models in capturing complex and nuanced emotional conflicts.
