Deep Multimodal Semantic Embeddings for Speech and Images
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
In this paper, we present a model which takes as input a corpus of images with relevant spoken captions and finds a correspondence between the two modalities. We employ a pair of convolutional neural networks to model visual objects and speech signals at the word level, and tie the networks together with an embedding and alignment model which learns a joint semantic space over both modalities. We evaluate our model using image search and annotation tasks on the Flickr8k dataset, which we augmented by collecting a corpus of 40,000 spoken captions using Amazon Mechanical Turk.
