• Authors: Antigoni Tsiami, Petros Koutras and Petros Maragos
• Abstract summary: STAViS is a network that combines visual saliency and auditory features. It learns to appropriately localize sound sources and to fuse the two saliencies in order to obtain a final saliency map. We compare our method against 8 different state-of-the-art visual saliency models.

• Abstract: We introduce STAViS, a spatio-temporal audiovisual saliency network that combines spatio-temporal visual and auditory information in order to efficiently address the problem of saliency estimation in videos. Our approach employs a single network that combines visual saliency and auditory features and learns to appropriately localize sound sources and to fuse the two saliencies in order to obtain a final saliency map. The network has been designed, trained end-to-end, and evaluated on six different databases that contain audiovisual eye-tracking data of a large variety of videos. We compare our method against 8 different state-of-the-art visual saliency models. Evaluation results across databases indicate that our STAViS model outperforms our visual only variant as well as the other state-of-the-art models in the majority of cases. Also, the consistently good performance it achieves for all databases indicates that it is appropriate for estimating saliency "in-the-wild". The code is available at https://github.com/atsiami/STAViS.

  We introduce the Open-Vocabulary Audio-Visual Event localization problem. This problem requires localizing audio-visual events and predicting explicit categories for both seen and unseen data at inference. We propose the OV-AVEBench dataset, comprising 24,800 videos across 67 real-life audio-visual scenes.

  We propose the AV-SUPERB benchmark that enables general-purpose evaluation of unimodal audio/visual and bimodal fusion representations. We evaluate 5 recent self-supervised models and show that none of these models generalize to all tasks. We show that representations may be improved with intermediate-task fine-tuning and audio event classification with AudioSet serves as a strong intermediate task.

  We propose a novel multimodal video benchmark to evaluate the perception and reasoning skills of pre-trained multimodal models. The Perception Test focuses on skills (Memory, Abstraction, Physics, Semantics) and types of reasoning (descriptive, explanatory, predictive, counterfactual) across video, audio, and text modalities. The benchmark probes pre-trained models for their transfer capabilities, in a zero-shot / few-shot or limited finetuning regime.

  We propose to learn multi-modal representations from audio-visual data using cross-modal attention. In our generalised audio-visual zero-shot learning setting, we include all the training classes in the test-time search space. Due to the lack of a unified benchmark in this domain, we introduce a (generalised) zero-shot learning benchmark on three audio-visual datasets.
