OSMO: Open-vocabulary Self-eMOtion Tracking

We introduce the novel task of egocentric self-emotion tracking, which aims to infer an individual's evolving emotions from egocentric multimodal streams such as voice, visual surroundings, semantic subtext, and eye-tracking signals. To establish this research direction, we present: (1) OSMO dataset, a large-scale annotation effort on 110 hours of existing bilingual smart-glasses recordings, establishing the largest egocentric emotion dataset and the first with subjectwise emotion timelines; (2) OSMO benchmark, a suite of five tasks (emotion recognition, sentiment, intensity, localization, and reasoning), that redefine emotion understanding as a continuous, context-aware process rather than discrete classification of trimmed videos; (3) OSIRIS, a large multimodal model that tracks emotions over time by reasoning over the user's personal emotion history, current expressions, and egocentric observations. Extensive evaluations show that OSIRIS achieves a state-of-the-art performance, delivering, for the first time, coherent emotion timelines from egocentric data.
