• Authors: Rini Sharon, Heet Shah, Debdoot Mukherjee, Vikram Gupta
• Abstract summary: This paper attempts abuse detection in conversational audio from a multimodal perspective in a multilingual social media setting. Our proposed method, MADA, explicitly focuses on two modalities other than the audio itself. We test the proposed approach on 10 different languages and observe consistent gains in the range 0.6%-5.2% by leveraging multiple modalities.

• Abstract: The presence of abusive content on social media platforms is undesirable as it severely impedes healthy and safe social media interactions. While automatic abuse detection has been widely explored in textual domain, audio abuse detection still remains unexplored. In this paper, we attempt abuse detection in conversational audio from a multimodal perspective in a multilingual social media setting. Our key hypothesis is that along with the modelling of audio, incorporating discriminative information from other modalities can be highly beneficial for this task. Our proposed method, MADA, explicitly focuses on two modalities other than the audio itself, namely, the underlying emotions expressed in the abusive audio and the semantic information encapsulated in the corresponding textual form. Observations prove that MADA demonstrates gains over audio-only approaches on the ADIMA dataset. We test the proposed approach on 10 different languages and observe consistent gains in the range 0.6%-5.2% by leveraging multiple modalities. We also perform extensive ablation experiments for studying the contributions of every modality and observe the best results while leveraging all the modalities together. Additionally, we perform experiments to empirically confirm that there is a strong correlation between underlying emotions and abusive behaviour.

  This paper bridges the gaps by introducing a multimodal conversational Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) To benchmark the tasks, we construct PanoSent, a dataset annotated both manually and automatically, featuring high quality, large scale, multimodality, multilingualism, multi-scenarios, and covering both implicit and explicit sentiment elements. To effectively address the tasks, we devise a novel Chain-of-Sentiment reasoning framework, together with a novel multimodal large language model (namely Sentica) and a paraphrase-based verification mechanism.

  We present a practical multimodal disfluency detection approach that leverages available video data together with audio. Our resilient design accommodates real-world scenarios where the video modality may sometimes be missing during inference. In experiments across five disfluency-detection tasks, our unified multimodal approach significantly outperforms Audio-only unimodal methods.

• Double Mixture: Towards Continual Event Detection from Speech [60.33088725100812]
  Speech event detection is crucial for multimedia retrieval, involving the tagging of both semantic and acoustic events. This paper tackles two primary challenges in speech event detection: the continual integration of new events without forgetting previous ones, and the disentanglement of semantic from acoustic events. We propose a novel method, 'Double Mixture,' which merges speech expertise with robust memory mechanisms to enhance adaptability and prevent forgetting.

  Advanced Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) systems have been observed to be sensitive to missing video frames. While applying the dropout technique to the video modality enhances robustness to missing frames, it simultaneously results in a performance loss when dealing with complete data input. We propose a novel Multimodal Distribution Approximation with Knowledge Distillation (MDA-KD) framework to reduce over-reliance on the audio modality.

Our findings demonstrate that emotional knowledge helps to more reliably identify hate speech and offensive language across datasets.
