Visually grounded speech models learn from images paired with spoken captions. By tagging images with soft text labels using a trained visual classifier with a fixed vocabulary, previous work has shown that it is possible to train a model…

We introduce SeeingSounds, a lightweight and modular framework for audio-to-image generation that leverages the interplay between audio, language, and vision-without requiring any paired audio-visual data or training on visual generative…

To tackle the vocabulary problem in conversational systems, previous work has applied unsupervised learning approaches on co-occurring speech and eye gaze during interaction to automatically acquire new words. Although these approaches have…

Spatial audio reasoning enables machines to interpret auditory scenes by understanding events and their spatial attributes. In this work, we focus on spatial audio understanding with an emphasis on reasoning about moving sources. First, we…

Learning from audio-visual data offers many possibilities to express correspondence between the audio and visual content, similar to the human perception that relates aural and visual information. In this work, we present a method for…

In order to successfully perform tasks specified by natural language instructions, an artificial agent operating in a visual world needs to map words, concepts, and actions from the instruction to visual elements in its environment. This…

The recently proposed self-attentive pooling (SAP) has shown good performance in several speaker recognition systems. In SAP systems, the context vector is trained end-to-end together with the feature extractor, where the role of context…

Vision-based Interfaces (VIs) are pivotal in advancing Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), particularly in enhancing context awareness. However, there are significant opportunities for these interfaces due to rapid advancements in multimodal…

Direct speech-to-text translation (ST) models are usually trained on corpora segmented at sentence level, but at inference time they are commonly fed with audio split by a voice activity detector (VAD). Since VAD segmentation is not…

Wearable audio devices with active noise control (ANC) enhance listening comfort but often at the expense of situational awareness. However, this auditory isolation may mask crucial environmental cues, posing significant safety risks. To…

Active speaker detection (ASD) and virtual cinematography (VC) can significantly improve the remote user experience of a video conference by automatically panning, tilting and zooming of a video conferencing camera: users subjectively rate…

Audio-visual feature synchronization for real-time speech enhancement in hearing aids represents a progressive approach to improving speech intelligibility and user experience, particularly in strong noisy backgrounds. This approach…

Generalisation to unseen contexts remains a challenge for embodied navigation agents. In the context of semantic audio-visual navigation (SAVi) tasks, the notion of generalisation should include both generalising to unseen indoor visual…

Spoken language understanding, which extracts intents and/or semantic concepts in utterances, is conventionally formulated as a post-processing of automatic speech recognition. It is usually trained with oracle transcripts, but needs to…

Event cameras offer microsecond-level latency and robustness to motion blur, making them ideal for understanding dynamic environments. Yet, connecting these asynchronous streams to human language remains an open challenge. We introduce…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has benefited from advances in pretrained speech and language models, yet most systems remain constrained to monolingual settings and short, isolated utterances. While recent efforts in context-aware ASR…

In active speaker detection (ASD), we would like to detect whether an on-screen person is speaking based on audio-visual cues. Previous studies have primarily focused on modeling audio-visual synchronization cue, which depends on the video…

Situated dialogue requires speakers to maintain a reliable representation of shared context rather than reasoning only over isolated utterances. Current conversational agents often struggle with this requirement, especially when the common…

While multimodal conversation agents are gaining importance in several domains such as retail, travel etc., deep learning research in this area has been limited primarily due to the lack of availability of large-scale, open chatlogs. To…

Grounding a command to the visual environment is an essential ingredient for interactions between autonomous vehicles and humans. In this work, we study the problem of language grounding for autonomous vehicles, which aims to localize a…
