📚 Introduction

AffectVisDial is a large-scale dataset which consists of 50K 10-turn visually grounded dialogs as well as concluding emotion attributions and dialog-informed textual emotion explanations.

📊 Baselines

We provide baseline models explanation generation task:

• GenLM: BERT- and BART-based models [3, 4]
• NLX-GPT: NLX-GPT based model [1]
