Call For Papers
Each team needs to submit a paper describing their system before the task paper submission deadline. This is MANDATORY. After the notification of evaluation, participants can analyze their models and results accordingly and update their paper so as to submit their camera ready version. There will be a special session in the workshop for the EmotionX task. Those teams that achieve the best results or propose novel models will be selected for oral presentation in this session, and others should present their systems with posters. The type of presentation, oral or poster, will be announced together with the evaluation results.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Submission Template
4. We checked you website May 7th is final date for paper submission. How can i write a paper without test data ?
Your first paper draft should include the data/method and your own evaluation result (perhaps using your own validation set). We will generate an overview paper accordingly. As the paper is mandatory, only runs from those who submit the first draft will be evaluated. Then we will release the official evaluation results and you can update your paper to include them and further discussions before the camera ready deadline.
5. "Participants will need to detect the emotion for each utterance among four label candidates: joy, sadness, anger, and neutral." Whereas, the dataset contains 8 labels. Could you please clarify?
Due to the very limited number of other emotions,
we will only evaluation on [ joy, sadness, anger, and neutral ] in the challenge this year.
