Audio Visual Learning

Audio-visual learning aims to leverage the complementary information from audio and visual data for improved perception and understanding, surpassing the capabilities of unimodal approaches. Current research focuses on developing robust models that handle modality heterogeneity, mitigate biases in benchmark datasets, and effectively fuse audio and visual features using techniques like contrastive learning, knowledge distillation, and transformer architectures. These advancements are crucial for improving various applications, including scene classification, object localization, and emotion recognition, ultimately leading to more sophisticated and human-like artificial intelligence systems. The field is also actively addressing challenges like continual learning and few-shot learning to enhance model generalization and efficiency.
