Nano-EmoX: Unifying Multimodal Emotional Intelligence from Perception to Empathy

Researchers have developed Nano-EmoX, a compact 2.2B parameter multimodal language model that unifies emotional intelligence tasks across perception, understanding, and interaction levels. The model achieves state-of-the-art performance on six core affective tasks using a novel curriculum-based training framework called P2E (Perception-to-Empathy).

EMPA: Evaluating Persona-Aligned Empathy as a Process

Researchers introduce EMPA, a new framework for evaluating persona-aligned empathy in LLM-based dialogue agents by treating empathetic responses as sustained processes rather than isolated interactions. The system uses controllable scenarios and multi-agent testing to assess long-term empathetic behavior in AI systems.
