Survey on AI-Based Multimodal Methods for Emotion Detection

Open access

Abstract

Automatic emotion recognition constitutes one of the great challenges providing new tools for more objective and quicker diagnosis, communication and research. Quick and accurate emotion recognition may increase possibilities of computers, robots, and integrated environments to recognize human emotions, and response accordingly to them a social rules. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility of automated emotion representation, recognition and prediction its state-of-the-art and main directions for further research. We focus on the impact of emotion analysis and state of the arts of multimodal emotion detection. We present existing works, possibilities and existing methods to analyze emotion in text, sound, image, video and physiological signals. We also emphasize the most important features for all available emotion recognition modes. Finally, we present the available platform and outlines the existing projects, which deal with multimodal emotion analysis.

Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.

TL;DR

This survey reviews AI-based multimodal emotion detection across text, sound, image/video, and physiological/motor signals, summarizing methods, datasets, tools, and projects. It reports that automated emotion analysis is feasible but still limited by context, language, real-world noise, and the need for personalization.

Key findings

  • The survey covers emotion analysis in text, sound, image/video, and physiological/motor signals; it highlights multimodal challenges of inter-modality and intra-modality dynamics and cites datasets such as MOSI, ICT-MMMO, and MOUD, plus methods like Tensor Fusion Network and LSTM-based contextual feature extraction.
  • Speech emotion recognition results include a chunk-level classwise averaged recognition rate of almost 70% for the 4-class problem anger, emphatic, neutral, and motherese on the FAU Aibo corpus; Greek speech emotion classification reached up to 75.15%, while Basque reached 80.05% and Spanish 74.82%.
  • Physiological/motor emotion recognition reports include classification rates up to 92% using HRV and PRV fusion (sensitivity 95%, specificity 83.33%), prior general recognition rates from 57.77% to 85.46%, 84.7% by Jang et al., EEG average overall accuracy of 77.14% with MLPNN and 72.92% with kNN, highest gait accuracy of 80.5%, 54.5% for combining heart rate variability, respiration frequency, and facial expressions, and 61.39% for the best i2b2/VA/Cincinnati challenge team.
  • Related projects and tools include openSMILE, openEAR (capable of generating >500 k features in real time with RTF < 0.1), ASC-Inclusion, INTERSPEECH ComParE, IntraFace, Microsoft Azure Emotion API, and Ekman micro-expression training tools.

Methods

  • Design: a survey/state-of-the-art review of automated emotion representation, recognition, and prediction, with emphasis on multimodal emotion detection.
  • Data or sample: no primary experimental sample; the paper reviews existing works, datasets/corpora, platforms, and projects, including MOSI, ICT-MMMO, MOUD, FAU Aibo, and MAHNOB-HCI.
  • Main analysis: narrative synthesis organized by modality—text, sound, image/video, physiological and motor signals—followed by related projects and future directions.

Limitations

  • Stated: limitations of current knowledge and experience concern tools for automatic non-invasive emotion measurement and analysis; key requirements include portability, non-intrusiveness, and low price, and further research is needed.
  • Stated: speech emotion analysis highly depends on language; real-world factors such as background noise and non-speech vocalizations degrade results from controlled environments, and algorithms must be personalized to each person to be reliable.
  • Evident from the text: as a survey, it provides no new experimental validation or systematic meta-analysis, and the authors note they have addressed only some of the most important issues.

    One of the most challenges in multimodal emotion analysis is to model the interactions between language, visual and acoustic behaviors that change the observation of the expressed emotion (inter-modality dynamics).

    A second challenge in multimodal emotion analysis (intra-modality dynamics) is to efficiently explore emotion on highly expressive nature modality.

    Traditional emotion recognition and classification associate the 'value' to at least several basic emotions such as happiness, joy, neutrality, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, or fear.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-08, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-08 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
