Recognizing Emotion Cause in Conversations
2 papers with code · 2 benchmarks · 3 datasets archive 2025-07-28
Given an utterance U, labeled with emotion E, the task is to extract the causal spans S from the conversational history H (including utterance U) that sufficiently represent the causes of emotion E.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
2 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 2 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.
| Dataset | Best model (first row in archive order) | Paper | Code | Syntology | Compare |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EmoCause (6 rows) | Human | Perspective-taking and Pragmatics for Generating Empathetic... | code | Syntology ran 1 of 5 samples · 4 unverified | Compare |
| RECCON (2 rows) | SpanBERT | Recognizing Emotion Cause in Conversations | code | — | Compare |
Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.
Libraries
Not in the archive: the export carries no per-task library table, so there is nothing to show at snapshot 2025-07-28.

Syntology lines on 1 of the papers shown; no Syntology record for the others (a paper without an arXiv id cannot be joined to the graph, and absence from the graph layer is not a recorded non-run). “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized fixture, not that the paper's result was reproduced.
