About this hackathon
MER-Cross is a newly introduced track that shifts the focus from individual scenarios to dyadic interactions. Unlike prior works that focused on isolated speakers, MER-Cross targets the interlocutor emotions. Predictions are limited to six predefined categories: neutral, anger, happiness, sadness, worry, and surprise. We use the weighted F1-score (WAF) as the primary evaluation metric. This is part of the MER2026 Challenge at ACM Multimedia 2026.
