Stream-Omni: Simultaneous Multimodal Interactions with Large Language-Vision-Speech Model
- 根据语义关系分治对齐:视觉用序列拼接,语音用CTC层映射。
- 少数据下仍可实现强跨模态对齐,支持语音转写与回答同步输出。
- 适合需要多模态实时交互的场景,如智能助手、人机对话系统。
大语言-视觉-语音模型(LMMs)的兴起推动了多模态交互的探索。现有方法通常沿序列维度拼接多模态表征并输入大语言模型(LLM),但依赖大规模数据学习模态对齐。本文提出Stream-Omni,通过有目的建模模态间关系,实现更高效的跨模态对齐。该模型以LLM为骨干,对语义互补的视觉采用序列拼接对齐,对语义一致的语音引入基于CTC的层维度映射对齐。该设计使模型在较少数据(尤其语音)条件下仍能实现有效对齐,将文本能力迁移至其他模态。实验表明,Stream-Omni在视觉理解、语音交互及视觉引导的语音交互任务中表现优异。得益于层维度映射,模型在语音交互中可同步输出中间文本结果(如语音识别转录和模型响应),提供完整的多模态体验。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The emergence of GPT-4o-like large multimodal models (LMMs) has raised the exploration of integrating text, vision, and speech modalities to support more flexible multimodal interaction. Existing LMMs typically concatenate representation of modalities along the sequence dimension and feed them into a large language model (LLM) backbone. While sequence-dimension concatenation is straightforward for modality integration, it often relies heavily on large-scale data to learn modality alignments. In this paper, we aim to model the relationships between modalities more purposefully, thereby achieving more efficient and flexible modality alignments. To this end, we propose Stream-Omni, a large language-vision-speech model with efficient modality alignments, which can simultaneously support interactions under various modality combinations. Stream-Omni employs LLM as the backbone and aligns the vision and speech to the text based on their relationships. For vision that is semantically complementary to text, Stream-Omni uses sequence-dimension concatenation to achieve vision-text alignment. For speech that is semantically consistent with text, Stream-Omni introduces a CTC-based layer-dimension mapping to achieve speech-text alignment. In this way, Stream-Omni can achieve modality alignments with less data (especially speech), enabling the transfer of text capabilities to other modalities. Experiments on various benchmarks demonstrate that Stream-Omni achieves strong performance on visual understanding, speech interaction, and vision-grounded speech interaction tasks. Owing to the layer-dimensional mapping, Stream-Omni can simultaneously provide intermediate text outputs (such as ASR transcriptions and model responses) during speech interaction, offering users a comprehensive multimodal experience.
