EmoLASP: Emotion Recognition with Language Models and Answer Set Programming

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 29, 2026 · UTC

Emotion recognition in conversations is increasingly tackled with language models, but these models can be unstable and expensive to fine-tune or to prompt with long dialogue histories. We propose EmoLASP, a framework that combines a language model with declarative reasoning via Answer Set Programming (ASP) to predict VAD scores (Valence-Arousal-Dominance) in conversations. Experiments on a widely used benchmark dataset (IEMOCAP) across six open-source LLMs (3B-120B) and two PLMs (BERT, RoBERTa) show that EmoLASP improves prediction performance compared to using the language model alone, even
