IEMOCAP (The Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture (IEMOCAP) Database)

Introduced in IEMOCAP: interactive emotional dyadic motion capture database archive 2025-07-28

Multimodal Emotion Recognition IEMOCAP The IEMOCAP dataset consists of 151 videos of recorded dialogues, with 2 speakers per session for a total of 302 videos across the dataset. Each segment is annotated for the presence of 9 emotions (angry, excited, fear, sad, surprised, frustrated, happy, disappointed and neutral) as well as valence, arousal and dominance. The dataset is recorded across 5 sessions with 5 pairs of speakers.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

30 shown of 65 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 749. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
