Abstract

Emotion Recognition in Conversation (ERC) is a key task in dialogue systems research. However, existing models often suffer from overfitting to specific datasets and dialogue patterns due to the complexity of pipeline design, which limits their generalization ability. To address this issue, this study proposes a Multi-task Generative Emotion Recognition in Conversation (M-GERC) model based on large language models. The model introduces two auxiliary tasks based on pre-trained large language models: speaker identification and topic-based emotion prediction. The speaker identification task aims to implicitly model the relationships between conversational roles, helping the model better understand emotional exchanges between different participants. The topic-based emotion prediction task predicts the global theme of the conversation, capturing the potential connection between topics and emotions, thus improving emotion recognition accuracy by incorporating contextual information. Additionally, M-GERC introduces a knowledge retrieval module that retrieves domain-specific knowledge and integrates external knowledge to further enhance the model's understanding of context. Experimental results show that M-GERC significantly outperforms existing mainstream ERC models, achieving W-F1 improvements of 3.1%, 4.3% and 3.7% on the DailyDialog, MELD and EmoryNLP datasets, respectively.
