Attention-Based Keyword Localisation in Speech using Visual Grounding
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 that can detect whether a particular text keyword occurs in speech utterances or not. Here we investigate whether visually grounded speech models can also do keyword localisation: predicting where, within an utterance, a given textual keyword occurs without any explicit text-based or alignment supervision. We specifically consider whether incorporating attention into a convolutional model is beneficial for localisation. Although absolute localisation performance with visually supervised models is still modest (compared to using unordered bag-of-word text labels for supervision), we show that attention provides a large gain in performance over previous visually grounded models. As in many other speech-image studies, we find that many of the incorrect localisations are due to semantic confusions, e.g. locating the word 'backstroke' for the query keyword 'swimming'.

Towards visually prompted keyword localisation for zero-resource spoken languages
Imagine being able to show a system a visual depiction of a keyword and finding spoken utterances that contain this keyword from a zero-resource speech corpus. We formalise this task and call it visually prompted keyword…
YFACC: A Yorùbá speech-image dataset for cross-lingual keyword localisation through visual grounding
Visually grounded speech (VGS) models are trained on images paired with unlabelled spoken captions. Such models could be used to build speech systems in settings where it is impossible to get labelled data, e.g. for docu…
Visual GroundingKeyword localisation in untranscribed speech using visually grounded speech models
Keyword localisation is the task of finding where in a speech utterance a given query keyword occurs. We investigate to what extent keyword localisation is possible using a visually grounded speech (VGS) model. VGS model…
