Definition
Multimodal sentiment analysis extends traditional text-based sentiment detection by incorporating additional signals such as facial expressions, voice tone, and body language. This holistic approach allows for a more accurate interpretation of human emotions, as context from non-verbal cues often clarifies ambiguous or sarcastic textual content. By fusing these diverse data streams, systems can better understand nuanced emotional states, making it highly effective for applications requiring deep human-computer interaction and empathy.
