Gnana Praveen","Jahangir Alam"],"abstract":"Though multimodal emotion recognition has achieved significant progress over recent years, the potential of rich synergic relationships across the modalities is not fully exploited. In this paper, we introduce Recursive Joint Cross-Modal Attention (RJCMA) to effectively capture both intra- and inter-modal relationships across audio, visual, and text modalities for dimensional emotion recognition. In particular, we compute the attention weights based on cross-correlation between the joint audio-visual-text feature representations and the feature representations of individual modalities to simultaneously capture intra- and intermodal relationships across the modalities. The attended features of the individual modalities are again fed as input to the fusion model in a recursive mechanism to obtain more refined feature representations. We have also explored Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs) to improve the temporal modeling of the feature representations of individual modalities. Extensive experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed fusion model on the challenging Affwild2 dataset. By effectively capturing the synergic intra- and inter-modal relationships across audio, visual, and text modalities, the proposed fusion model achieves a Concordance Correlation Coefficient (CCC) of 0.585 (0.542) and 0.674 (0.619) for valence and arousal respectively on the validation set(test set). This shows a significant improvement over the baseline of 0.240 (0.211) and 0.200 (0.191) for valence and arousal, respectively, in the validation set (test set), achieving second place in the valence-arousal challenge of the 6th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-Wild (ABAW) competition.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.13659v4","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.13659v4.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":"recursive-cross-modal-attention-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/praveena2j/rjcma","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"emotion-recognition","task_name":"Emotion Recognition"},{"task_slug":"multimodal-emotion-recognition","task_name":"Multimodal Emotion Recognition"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"},{"method_slug":"focus","method_name":"Focus"},{"method_slug":"set","method_name":"SET"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2403.13659","mcp":{"get_harvested_code_for_paper":{"arxiv_id":"2403.13659"}},"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers","read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","read_at_is":"when the build read Syntology's graph, not when any sample ran","claim":"Per-sample execution status on synthesized fixtures; not a correctness claim about the paper.
