Emotion Recognition in Conversations

Updates

06/03/2019: Features and codes to train DialogueRNN on the MELD dataset have been released.

20/11/2018: End-to-end version of ICON and DialogueRNN have been released.

---

This repository contains implementations for three conversational emotion detection methods, namely:

• bc-LSTM (keras)
• CMN (tensorflow)
• ICON (tensorflow)
• DialogueRNN (PyTorch)

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.

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.

bc-LSTM

bc-LSTM 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.

CMN

CMN is a neural framework for emotion detection in dyadic conversations. It leverages mutlimodal signals from text, audio and visual modalities. It specifically incorporates speaker-specific dependencies into its architecture for context modeling. Summaries are then generated from this context using multi-hop memory networks.

Requirements

• python 3.6.5
• pandas==0.23.3
• tensorflow==1.9.0
• numpy==1.15.0
• scikit_learn==0.20.0

Execution

1. cd CMN

2. Unzip the data as follows:

   • Download the features for IEMOCAP using this link.
   • Unzip the folder and place it in the location: /CMN/IEMOCAP/data/. Sample command to achieve this: unzip {path_to_zip_file} -d ./IEMOCAP/

3. Train the ICON model:

   • python train_iemocap.py for IEMOCAP

ICON

Interactive COnversational memory Network (ICON) is a multimodal emotion detection framework that extracts multimodal features from conversational videos and hierarchically models the \textit{self-} and \textit{inter-speaker} emotional influences into global memories. Such memories generate contextual summaries which aid in predicting the emotional orientation of utterance-videos.

• python 3.6.5
• pandas==0.23.3
• tensorflow==1.9.0
• numpy==1.15.0
• scikit_learn==0.20.0

Execution

1. cd ICON

2. Unzip the data as follows:

   • Download the features for IEMOCAP using this link.
   • Unzip the folder and place it in the location: /ICON/IEMOCAP/data/. Sample command to achieve this: unzip {path_to_zip_file} -d ./IEMOCAP/

3. Train the ICON model:

   • python train_iemocap.py for IEMOCAP

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.

• Python 3
• PyTorch 0.4
• Pandas 0.23
• Scikit-Learn 0.20
• TensorFlow (optional; required for tensorboard)
• tensorboardX (optional; required for tensorboard)
