Abstract
Temporal information prevails in multimodal sequence data, such as video data and speech signals. In this paper, we propose a two-stage learning to model the temporal information in multimodal sequences. At the first learning stage, static representative features are extracted from each modality at every time step. Then joint representations across various modalities are effectively learned within a joint fusion layer. The second one is to transfer the static features into corresponding dynamical features by jointly learning the temporal information and dependencies between different time steps with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). Compared with previous multimodal methods, the proposed model is efficient in learning temporal joint representations. Evaluated on Big Bang Theory speaker recognition dataset and AVLetters speech recognition dataset, our model proves to outperform other methods.
