Schuller"],"abstract":"We introduce the MuSe-Toolbox - a Python-based open-source toolkit for creating a variety of continuous and discrete emotion gold standards. In a single framework, we unify a wide range of fusion methods and propose the novel Rater Aligned Annotation Weighting (RAAW), which aligns the annotations in a translation-invariant way before weighting and fusing them based on the inter-rater agreements between the annotations. Furthermore, discrete categories tend to be easier for humans to interpret than continuous signals. With this in mind, the MuSe-Toolbox provides the functionality to run exhaustive searches for meaningful class clusters in the continuous gold standards. To our knowledge, this is the first toolkit that provides a wide selection of state-of-the-art emotional gold standard methods and their transformation to discrete classes. Experimental results indicate that MuSe-Toolbox can provide promising and novel class formations which can be better predicted than hard-coded classes boundaries with minimal human intervention. The implementation (1) is out-of-the-box available with all dependencies using a Docker container (2).","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.11757v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.11757v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"muse-toolbox-the-multimodal-sentiment","repo_url":"https://github.com/lstappen/MuSe-Toolbox","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"multimodal-sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Multimodal Sentiment Analysis"},{"task_slug":"sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Sentiment Analysis"},{"task_slug":"translation","task_name":"Translation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
