Few-shot emotion recognition in conversation with sequential prototypical networks[Formula presented]

Detecting emotions in a conversational context benefits several industrial cases such as customer service, user appraisal from speech recognition, and so on. However, in most cases, research data differ from real data due to them being private, confidential, or difficult to label. In this work we present ProtoSeq, an adaptation of the Prototypical Networks to enable dealing with sequences in a few-shot learning way, reducing the need for labeling confidential data.
