This repository contains implementations for several emotion recognition in conversations methods as well algorithms for recognizing emotion cause in conversations:
Unlike other emotion detection models, these techniques consider the party-states and inter-party dependencies for modeling conversational context relevant to emotion recognition. The primary purpose of all these techniques are to pretrain an emotion detection model for empathetic dialogue generation.
Interaction among different controlling variables during a dyadic conversation between persons X and Y. Grey and white circles represent hidden and observed variables, respectively. P represents personality, U represents utterance, S represents interlocutor state, I represents interlocutor intent, B represents background knowledge, Q represents external and sensory inputs, E represents emotion and Topic represents topic of the conversation. This can easily be extended to multi-party conversations.Emotion recognition can be very useful for empathetic and affective dialogue generation -
Data Format
These networks expect emotion/sentiment label and speaker info for each utterance present in a dialogue like
Party 1: I hate my girlfriend (angry)
Party 2: you got a girlfriend?! (surprise)
Party 1: yes (angry)
However, the code can be adpated to perform tasks where only the preceding utterances are available, without their corresponding labels, as context and goal is to label only the present/target utterance. For example, the context is
Party 1: I hate my girlfriend
Party 2: you got a girlfriend?!
the target is
Party 1: yes (angry)
where the target emotion is angry. Moreover, this code can also be molded to train the network in an end-to-end manner. We will soon push these useful changes.

COSMIC: COmmonSense knowledge for eMotion Identification in Conversations
COSMIC addresses the task of utterance level emotion recognition in conversations using commonsense knowledge. It is a new framework that incorporates different elements of commonsense such as mental states, events, and causal relations, and build upon them to learn interactions between interlocutors participating in a conversation. Current state-of-the-art methods often encounter difficulties in context propagation, emotion shift detection, and differentiating between related emotion classes. By learning distinct commonsense representations, COSMIC addresses these challenges and achieves new state-of-the-art results for emotion recognition on four different benchmark conversational datasets.
Execution
First download the RoBERTa and COMET features here and keep them in appropriate directories in COSMIC/erc-training
. Then training and evaluation on the four datasets are to be done as follows:
- IEMOCAP:
python train_iemocap.py --active-listener
- DailyDialog:
python train_dailydialog.py --active-listener --class-weight --residual
- MELD Emotion:
python train_meld.py --active-listener --attention simple --dropout 0.5 --rec_dropout 0.3 --lr 0.0001 --mode1 2 --classify emotion --mu 0 --l2 0.00003 --epochs 60
- MELD Sentiment:
python train_meld.py --active-listener --class-weight --residual --classify sentiment

DialogueGCN: A Graph Convolutional Neural Network for Emotion Recognition in Conversation
DialogueGCN (Dialogue Graph Convolutional Network), is a graph neural network based approach to ERC. We leverage self and inter-speaker dependency of the interlocutors to model conversational context for emotion recognition. Through the graph network, DialogueGCN addresses context propagation issues present in the current RNN-based methods. DialogueGCN is naturally suited for multi-party dialogues.

DialogueRNN: An Attentive RNN for Emotion Detection in Conversations
DialogueRNN is basically a customized recurrent neural network (RNN) that profiles each speaker in a conversation/dialogue on the fly, while models the context of the conversation at the same time. This model can easily be extended to multi-party scenario. Also, it can be used as a pretraining model for empathetic dialogue generation.
Note: the default settings (hyperparameters and commandline arguments) in the code are meant for BiDialogueRNN+Att. The user needs to optimize the settings for other the variants and changes.

bc-LSTM-pytorch
bc-LSTM-pytorch is a network for using context to detection emotion of an utterance in a dialogue. The model is simple but efficient which only uses a LSTM to model the temporal relation among the utterances. In this repo we gave the data of Semeval 2019 Task 3. We have used and provided the data released by Semeval 2019 Task 3 - "Emotion Recognition in Context" organizers. In this task only 3 utterances have been provided - utterance1 (user1), utterance2 (user2), utterance3 (user1) consecutively. The task is to predict the emotion label of utterance3. Emotion label of each utterance have not been provided. However, if your data contains emotion label of each utterance then you can still use this code and adapt it accordingly. Hence, this code is still aplicable for the datasets like MOSI, MOSEI, IEMOCAP, AVEC, DailyDialogue etc. bc-LSTM does not make use of speaker information like CMN, ICON and DialogueRNN.
