CCC Seminar by Anna Koufakou, visiting professor from Florida Gulf University, United States
Abstract
The evolution of Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies, with the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI, has significantly expanded the scope and effectiveness of NLP-driven tools across applications. Among these, Automated Emotion Recognition (AER) represents a particularly challenging yet promising area of research. Unlike Sentiment Analysis, which usually categorizes sentiment as positive or negative, AER aims to identify specific emotional states, such as anger, joy, or sadness, that can vary widely in expression and meaning. This talk explores the current landscape of relevant text corpora and resources, including our recent efforts towards a unifying benchmark. We will also discuss recent practices and key challenges in this evolving field.
