• Abstract: The development of audio-visual quality assessment models poses a number of challenges in order to obtain accurate predictions. One of these challenges is the modelling of the complex interaction that audio and visual stimuli have and how this interaction is interpreted by human users. The No-Reference Audio-Visual Quality Metric Based on a Deep Autoencoder (NAViDAd) deals with this problem from a machine learning perspective. The metric receives two sets of audio and video features descriptors and produces a low-dimensional set of features used to predict the audio-visual quality. A basic implementation of NAViDAd was able to produce accurate predictions tested with a range of different audio-visual databases. The current work performs an ablation study on the base architecture of the metric. Several modules are removed or re-trained using different configurations to have a better understanding of the metric functionality. The results presented in this study provided important feedback that allows us to understand the real capacity of the metric's architecture and eventually develop a much better audio-visual quality metric.

  We construct a dataset containing audio samples from music covers on YouTube along with the audio of the original song, and sentiment scores derived from user comments. Our approach involves extensive pre-processing, segmenting audio signals into 30-second windows, and extracting high-dimensional feature representations. We train regression models to predict sentiment scores on a 0-100 scale, achieving root mean square error (RMSE) values of 3.420, 5.482, 2.783, and 4.212, respectively.

  Visually-guided sound source separation consists of three parts: visual feature extraction, multimodal feature fusion, and sound signal processing. This paper presents audio-visual predictive coding (AVPC) to tackle this task in parameter harmonizing and more effective manner. In addition, we develop a valid self-supervised learning strategy for AVPC via co-predicting two audio-visual representations of the same sound source.

Results indicate that we can transfer knowledge from the video summarization task to a model trained specifically for the task of highlight detection.
