让语音大模型学会看图对话,解决数据少、延迟高、音色保真难题。

Vision-Speech Models: Teaching Speech Models to Converse about Images

  • 用轻量模块和动态门控,让语音模型融合视觉信息并自由切换话题。
  • 仅用一次微调,结合图文与图像语音数据,降低训练成本。
  • 保留说话人语调等语音特征,适合需要真实语音交互的场景。

视觉-语言模型的成功引发了一个关键问题:如何将视觉理解能力赋予预训练语音模型,从而构建可自由讨论图像的多模态语音模型。这面临三大挑战:(i) 图像-语音配对数据远少于图像-文本数据;(ii) 推理需实时低延迟,受计算与内存限制;(iii) 模型须保留语调等声学特征,这些无法从文本中推断。本文提出MoshiVis,通过轻量级适配模块增强近期对话语音大模型Moshi的视觉输入能力,并引入动态门控机制,使模型更易在视觉输入与无关话题间切换。为降低训练成本,设计了一种简单的一阶段、参数高效微调流程,利用图文(“无语音”)与图像-语音样本混合数据。我们在下游视觉理解任务上评估模型,采用音频与文本提示,展示交互样例。推理代码及用于音频评估的图像-语音数据集将公开。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The recent successes of Vision-Language models raise the question of how to equivalently imbue a pretrained speech model with vision understanding, an important milestone towards building a multimodal speech model able to freely converse about images. Building such a conversational Vision-Speech model brings its unique challenges: (i) paired image-speech datasets are much scarcer than their image-text counterparts, (ii) ensuring real-time latency at inference is crucial thus bringing compute and memory constraints, and (iii) the model should preserve prosodic features (e.g., speaker tone) which cannot be inferred from text alone. In this work, we introduce MoshiVis, augmenting a recent dialogue speech LLM, Moshi, with visual inputs through lightweight adaptation modules. An additional dynamic gating mechanism enables the model to more easily switch between the visual inputs and unrelated conversation topics. To reduce training costs, we design a simple one-stage, parameter-efficient fine-tuning pipeline in which we leverage a mixture of image-text (i.e., "speechless") and image-speech samples. We evaluate the model on downstream visual understanding tasks with both audio and text prompts, and report qualitative samples of interactions with MoshiVis. Our inference code will be made available, as well as the image-speech data used for audio evaluation.
