Modality Discrepancy Transformer for Ambivalence and Hesitancy Recognition

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.19148v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ambivalence and hesitancy (A/H) are affective states in which individuals express contradictory signals across facial, vocal, and linguistic channels. Automatically recognising A/H in clinical videos requires detecting cross-modal disagreement -- the signal that standard fusion methods suppress. Based on the conflict-aware multimodal fusion framework of Bekhouche et al., we present the Modality Discrepancy Transformer (MDT). MDT enriches the origin
