読み出しの問題:細粒度感情認識ベンチマークは知覚ではなく誘発を測っている
The Failure Is in the Readout: Fine-Grained Emotion Recognition Benchmarks Measure Elicitation, Not Perception
生成された顔画像による細粒度感情認識ベンチマークで、既製の視覚言語モデルでもロジットから読み出せば微調整モデルに匹敵・上回ることを示し、評価手法の違いが性能差を生むと指摘した。

原文アブストラクト
Fine-grained emotion recognition supports therapy tools and social robots, but it needs facial data, which raises privacy and data-protection concerns. EmoNet-Face-HQ answers that with generated portraits, expert-rated over a $40$-category taxonomy far finer than the usual six to eight basic emotions. Under the protocol it ships with, vision-language models (VLMs) score poorly on that taxonomy, and the benchmark concludes that a dedicated fine-tuned model is necessary: Empathic-Insight-Face (EIF; Small/Large). We show that off-the-shelf VLMs match or beat that fine-tuned model when the answer is not generated but read from the logits, as one binary query per category. We keep the benchmark's images, taxonomy and ratings, and change only how the answer is read. Experts agree at $κ_w = 0.468$ on the five categories they measure most reliably. Generatively, no interval among eleven open-weight VLMs lies entirely above that anchor ($κ_w=0.268$-$0.486$). Under verification all eleven clear it, each of them significantly better at $κ_w=0.507$-$0.586$. Three also significantly beat EIF sitting at $κ_w = 0.551$ (Small; $0.534$ Large). The gain comes from the graded probability and not from asking a yes/no question: as a control, thresholding those same probabilities to yes/no costs 142% of the average gains and drops binarization below generative elicitation to $κ_w=0.254$-$0.423$. A replication on real photographs (FACES) is weaker and mixed: of the ten models that pass a validity gate, six gain, three are neutral to positive and one is negative, so the effect is not confined to synthetic data.
