Transformer-Based Interactive Multi-Modal Attention Network for Video Sentiment Detection.

Social media allows users to express opinions in multiple modalities such as text, pictures, and short-videos. Multi-modal sentiment detection can more effectively predict the emotional tendencies expressed by users. Therefore, multi-modal sentiment detection has received extensive attention in recent years. Current works consider utterances from videos as independent modal, ignoring the effective interaction among diffence modalities of a video. To tackle these challenges, we propose transformer-based interactive multi-modal attention network to investigate multi-modal paired attention between multiple modalities and utterances for video sentiment detection. Specifically, we first take a series of utterances as input and use three separate transformer encoders to capture the utterances-level features of each modality. Subsequently, we introduced multimodal paired attention mechanisms to learn the cross-modality information between multiple modalities and utterances. Finally, we inject the cross-modality information into the multi-headed self-attention layer for making final emotion and sentiment classification. Our solutions outperform baseline models on three multi-modal datasets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
