From Coarse to Nuanced: Cross-Modal Alignment of Fine-Grained Linguistic Cues and Visual Salient Regions for Dynamic Emotion Recognition

Published in IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing, under review, 2025

We implement cross-modal alignment through Optimal Transport method to conduct fine-grained alignment, solve dynamic emotion recognition via vision-language models to enhance context retention.

HOPE: Hierarchical Fusion for Optimized and Personality-Aware Estimation of Depression

Published in In Proceedings of the 33rd ACM International Conference on Multimedia (MM), 2025

We propose HOPE, a hierarchical fusion framework for personality-aware depression detection. It reconstructs textual semantics from audio and integrates predictions consistently across tasks, achieving the 1st place in the MPDD Challenge Young Track.
