Accommodating Missing Modalities in Time-Continuous Multimodal Emotion Recognition
Résumé
Decades of research indicate that emotion recognition is more effective when drawing information from multiple modalities. But what if some modalities are sometimes missing? To address this problem, we propose a novel Transformer-based architecture for recognizing valence and arousal in a time-continuous manner even with missing input modalities. We use a coupling of cross-attention and self-attention mechanisms to emphasize relationships between modalities during time and enhance the learning process on weak salient inputs. Experimental results on the Ulm-TSST dataset show that our model exhibits an improvement of the concordance correlation coefficient evaluation of 37% when predicting arousal values and 30% when predicting valence values, compared to a late-fusion baseline approach.
