用大模型将触觉振动信号转为自然语言描述,提升虚拟现实与无障碍体验。
HapticLLaMA: A Multimodal Sensory Language Model for Haptic Captioning
- 基于频域与EnCodec的触觉编码器,将振动信号转为离散序列,接入LLaMA模型。
- 在自动生成与人工评估中表现优异,METEOR达59.98,超61%生成句获3.5分以上好评。
- 采用强化学习优化语言输出,使描述更贴近人类触觉感知,适合沉浸式交互场景。
触觉补全旨在从振动等触觉信号生成自然语言描述,服务于虚拟现实、无障碍及康复应用。现有跨模态研究多集中于视觉与听觉,触觉信号仍被忽视。为此,我们正式定义触觉补全任务,提出HapticLLaMA——一个能将振动信号转化为特定感官、情感或联想类别的自然语言描述的多模态感官语言模型。研究对比了两种触觉编码器:基于频率的编码器与基于EnCodec的编码器,将触觉信号转化为离散符号序列,实现与LLaMA模型的融合。模型采用两阶段训练:(1)基于LoRA的监督微调,(2)基于人类反馈强化学习(RLHF)的微调。通过自动指标与人工评估综合测试,结果显示:模型在自动化指标上取得59.98的METEOR得分和32.06的BLEU-4得分;超过61%的生成描述在7分制中得分高于3.5,且经RLHF优化后整体评分分布提升10%,表明其生成内容更贴合人类触觉认知。结果证明大型语言模型具备处理并适应感官数据的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Haptic captioning is the task of generating natural language descriptions from haptic signals, such as vibrations, for use in virtual reality, accessibility, and rehabilitation applications. While previous multimodal research has focused primarily on vision and audio, haptic signals for the sense of touch remain underexplored. To address this gap, we formalize the haptic captioning task and propose HapticLLaMA, a multimodal sensory language model that interprets vibration signals into descriptions in a given sensory, emotional, or associative category. We investigate two types of haptic tokenizers, a frequency-based tokenizer and an EnCodec-based tokenizer, that convert haptic signals into sequences of discrete units, enabling their integration with the LLaMA model. HapticLLaMA is trained in two stages: (1) supervised fine-tuning using the LLaMA architecture with LoRA-based adaptation, and (2) fine-tuning via reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). We assess HapticLLaMA's captioning performance using both automated n-gram metrics and human evaluation. HapticLLaMA demonstrates strong capability in interpreting haptic vibration signals, achieving a METEOR score of 59.98 and a BLEU-4 score of 32.06 respectively. Additionally, over 61% of the generated captions received human ratings above 3.5 on a 7-point scale, with RLHF yielding a 10% improvement in the overall rating distribution, indicating stronger alignment with human haptic perception. These findings highlight the potential of large language models to process and adapt to sensory data.
