Abstract

In human communication, both verbal and non-verbal cues play a crucial role in conveying emotions, intentions, and meaning beyond words alone. These non-linguistic information, such as facial expressions, eye contact, voice tone, and pitch, are fundamental elements of effective interactions, enriching conversations by adding emotional and contextual depth. Recognizing the importance of non-linguistic content in communication, we present AV-EmoDialog, a dialogue system designed to exploit verbal and non-verbal information from users' audio-visual inputs to generate more responsive and empathetic interactions. AV-EmoDialog systematically exploits the emotional cues in audio-visual dialogues; extracting speech content and emotional tones from speech, analyzing fine-grained facial expressions from visuals, and integrating these cues to generate emotionally aware responses in an end-to-end manner. Through extensive experiments, we validate that the proposed AV-EmoDialog outperforms existing
