A question about DialogRNN

[mrFocusXin]

Hi, First, I would like to express my appreciation for your outstanding works in multimodal sentiment analysis, which have greatly inspired me.
But I have one problem about "Party GRU" of your DialogRNN code:

As shown in the figure above, my understanding is Speaker A's party state at time t-1 as input to the Party GRU. right？

Adding @nmder to this thread as he is the author of the DialogueRNN code.

Thank you for your question! To answer your query, yes it is, as far as I can remember. As we did not explicitly model the listener state (of A) at t-1 in the depicted model, q_{A, t-1} = q_{A, t-2}.
