Finding Emotions Where They Belong: Rethinking Audio Emotion Recognition through Masked Temporal Affective Grounding
Audio emotion recognition (AER) typically assigns a single label to an entire recording, leaving the temporal scope of that label ambiguous when multiple speakers and affective events are present. We address this limitation by reformulating AER as a Temporal Affective Grounding (TAG) task that associates emotions with temporally bounded speech spans and vocal tone descriptions. To support this…
