Ms-senet: Enhancing Speech Emotion Recognition Through Multi-scale Feature Fusion With Squeeze-and-excitation Blocks

Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) has become a growing focus of research in human-computer interaction. Spatiotemporal features play a crucial role in SER, yet current research lacks comprehensive spatiotemporal feature learning. This paper focuses on addressing this gap by proposing a novel approach. In this paper, we employ Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with varying kernel sizes for spatial and temporal feature extraction. Additionally, we introduce Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) modules to capture and fuse multi-scale features, facilitating effective information fusion for improved emotion recognition and a deeper understanding of the temporal evolution of speech emotion. Moreover, we employ skip connections and Spatial Dropout (SD) layers to prevent overfitting and increase the model's depth. Our method outperforms the previous state-of-the-art method, achieving an average UAR and WAR improvement of 1.62% and 1.32%, respectively, across six benchmark SER datasets. Further experiments demonstrated that our method can fully extract spatiotemporal features in low-resource conditions.

Mao-Zedong At SemEval-2023 Task 4: Label Represention Multi-Head Attention Model With Contrastive Learning-Enhanced Nearest Neighbor Mechanism For Multi-Label Text Classification

The study of human values is essential in both practical and theoretical domains. With the development of computational linguistics, the creation of large-scale datasets has made it possible to automatically recognize human values accurately. SemEval 2023 Task 4\cite{kiesel:2023} provides a set of arguments and 20 types of human values that are implicitly expressed in each argument. In this paper, we present our team's solution. We use the Roberta\cite{liu_roberta_2019} model to obtain the word vector encoding of the document and propose a multi-head attention mechanism to establish connections between specific labels and semantic components. Furthermore, we use a contrastive learning-enhanced K-nearest neighbor mechanism\cite{su_contrastive_2022} to leverage existing instance information for prediction. Our approach achieved an F1 score of 0.533 on the test set and ranked fourth on the leaderboard.

AmGCL: Feature Imputation of Attribute Missing Graph via Self-supervised Contrastive Learning

Attribute graphs are ubiquitous in multimedia applications, and graph representation learning (GRL) has been successful in analyzing attribute graph data. However, incomplete graph data and missing node attributes can have a negative impact on media knowledge discovery. Existing methods for handling attribute missing graph have limited assumptions or fail to capture complex attribute-graph dependencies. To address these challenges, we propose Attribute missing Graph Contrastive Learning (AmGCL), a framework for handling missing node attributes in attribute graph data. AmGCL leverages Dirichlet energy minimization-based feature precoding to encode in missing attributes and a self-supervised Graph Augmentation Contrastive Learning Structure (GACLS) to learn latent variables from the encoded-in data. Specifically, AmGCL utilizies feature reconstruction based on structure-attribute energy minimization while maximizes the lower bound of evidence for latent representation mutual information. Our experimental results on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate that AmGCL outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both feature imputation and node classification tasks, indicating the effectiveness of our proposed method in real-world attribute graph analysis tasks.
