Authors: Qianrui Zhou, Hua Xu, Hao Li, Hanlei Zhang, Xiaohan Zhang, Yifan Wang, Kai Gao,
Abstract summary: We introduce a token-level contrastive learning method with modality-aware prompting (TCL-MAP) to address the challenges of multimodal intent recognition. Based on the modality-aware prompt and ground truth labels, the proposed TCL constructs augmented samples and employs NT-Xent loss on the label token. Our method achieves remarkable improvements compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract: Multimodal intent recognition aims to leverage diverse modalities such as expressions, body movements and tone of speech to comprehend user's intent, constituting a critical task for understanding human language and behavior in real-world multimodal scenarios. Nevertheless, the majority of existing methods ignore potential correlations among different modalities and own limitations in effectively learning semantic features from nonverbal modalities. In this paper, we introduce a token-level contrastive learning method with modality-aware prompting (TCL-MAP) to address the above challenges. To establish an optimal multimodal semantic environment for text modality, we develop a modality-aware prompting module (MAP), which effectively aligns and fuses features from text, video and audio modalities with similarity-based modality alignment and cross-modality attention mechanism. Based on the modality-aware prompt and ground truth labels, the proposed token-level contrastive learning framework (TCL) constructs augmented samples and employs NT-Xent loss on the label token. Specifically, TCL capitalizes on the optimal textual semantic insights derived from intent labels to guide the learning processes of other modalities in return. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves remarkable improvements compared to state-of-the-art methods. Additionally, ablation analyses demonstrate the superiority of the modality-aware prompt over the handcrafted prompt, which holds substantial significance for multimodal prompt learning.
