BiCFlow-MER: Orchestrating Discriminative and Generative Multimodal Emotion Recognition via Conditional Transport

In multimodal emotion recognition (MER), human affective states are inferred by integrating complementary cues from multiple modalities. In audio-text MER, affective cues are often entangled with speaker style and lexical content, while cross-modal disagreement further complicates how the evidence should be integrated. Under conventional discriminative fusion, multimodal evidence is compressed into a terminal prediction, with modality-specific cues and conflict information insufficiently preserved. In large generative affective models, by contrast, affective reasoning is typically embedded in language decoding, leaving emotion evidence implicit and difficult to verify in a structured space. To address these limitations, BiCFlow-MER (Bidirectional Conditional Flow for Multimodal Emotion Recognition) is proposed as a conditional-flow framework in which audio-text MER is formulated as generative evidence transport within a structured emotion space. Within BiCFlow-MER, emotion-oriented evidence is disentangled from speaker-style and lexical-content factors to construct a conflict-aware affective condition. Guided by this condition, each utterance is transported to an explicit emotion-space endpoint through a bidirectional rectified flow. Candidate emotions are jointly verified through adaptive prototype-cloud scoring of the transported endpoint and backward class-to-condition consistency with the original multimodal condition, enabling conflict-aware recognition. BiCFlow-MER is shown to outperform all compared methods across IEMOCAP, MELD, and the zero-shot CASE benchmark. By orchestrating discriminative recognition and generative evidence modeling through conditional transport, BiCFlow-MER defines a new MER paradigm.

Affect-Prototype Guided Fusion for Open-Vocabulary Incomplete Multi-modal Emotion Recognition

Open-vocabulary multimodal emotion recognition (OV-MER) aims to generate open natural-language emotion labels from multimodal affective cues. In real-world scenarios, however, complete and synchronized modal data are difficult to obtain due to limitations of acquisition devices and user privacy constraints. Existing OV-MER methods are largely designed for full-modal inputs, and fail to perform effective feature fusion under modal missing conditions. Meanwhile, current fusion approaches designed for incomplete modalities mainly focus on fixed-label recognition context, and cannot satisfy the demand for fuse emotional cues guided with arbitrary emotion semantics in OV-MER context. To tackle these challenges, this paper proposes an Affect-Prototype-Conditioned Fusion (APCF) framework for incomplete open-vocabulary emotion recognition. As a candidate-free generative framework, APCF extends modal contribution learning to scenarios guided by arbitrary emotional semantics. Specifically, we construct an affect-prototype library to explicitly model multimodal contribution characteristics corresponding to diverse emotions, which provides dynamic constraints for modal fusion under different emotional semantic perspectives. Conditional retrieval and feature aggregation are conducted based on available modal features. The refined fused affective representations are then fed into an LLM decoder to produce open-vocabulary emotion labels. Experiments on the OV-MERD+ and MER-FG datasets demonstrate that APCF substantially outperforms state-of-the-art baselines.

Non-stationary BERT: Exploring Augmented IMU Data For Robust Human Activity Recognition

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has gained great attention from researchers due to the popularity of mobile devices and the need to observe users' daily activity data for better human-computer interaction. In this work, we collect a human activity recognition dataset called OPPOHAR consisting of phone IMU data. To facilitate the employment of HAR system in mobile phone and to achieve user-specific activity recognition, we propose a novel light-weight network called Non-stationary BERT with a two-stage training method. We also propose a simple yet effective data augmentation method to explore the deeper relationship between the accelerator and gyroscope data from the IMU. The network achieves the state-of-the-art performance testing on various activity recognition datasets and the data augmentation method demonstrates its wide applicability.
