[WWW] Kardia-R1: Unleashing LLMs to Reason toward Understanding and Empathy for Emotional Support via Rubric-as-Judge Reinforcement Learning

This repository contains PyTorch implementations of the models from the paper An Empirical Study MIME: MIMicking Emotions for Empathetic Response Generation.

This repository contains the source codes of the paper -- Exemplars-guided Empathetic Response Generation Controlled by the Elements of Human Communication

Knowledge-Infused Topic Model (KITM) for empathetic dialogue generation, integrating topic modeling with commonsense reasoning from COMET. Official implementation of our APSIPA ASC 2025 paper.

'내마리'는 나의 이야기에 귀를 기울임으로써 나에게 공감하고, 이야기의 맥락을 파악하고, 더 깊은 내용을 질문해주는 챗봇입니다.

Official codes for "StyEmp: Stylizing Empathetic Response Generation via Multi-Grained Prefix Encoder and Personality Reinforcement"

Modeling Content-Emotion Duality via Disentanglement for Empathetic Conversation (https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.12495)

NLP project myself, and Ye Fan developed for ECE 657.

a repo for ACL23 Workshop Paper "HIT-SCIR at WASSA 2023: Empathy and Emotion Analysis at the Utterance-Level and the Essay-Level."

This is the repository for EmpatheticExchanges, a dataset of dyadic interactions with corresponding behavioral empathy metrics. We use empathy cues from affective computing to classify the amount of displayed empathy in dyadic interactions in a variety of emotional contexts.

Empathy Style Transformer with Discriminative mechanism

ECR-RR contains the complete implementation of an inference-time reranking system for empathetic conversational recommendation (ECR: https://github.com/zxd-octopus/ECR), featuring a RoBERTa-based critic for response quality assessment and NDCG-balanced evaluation.
