摘要翻译：
本文的目标是：第一，能够将音频和视频输入嵌入到一个适合跨模态检索的公共空间中的网络；第二，一个网络，可以定位在图像中发出声音的对象，给定音频信号。我们通过从无标记视频中训练，仅使用视听对应(AVC)作为目标函数来实现这两个目标。这是一种来自视频的跨模态自我监督的形式。为此，我们设计了一种新的网络结构，可以通过AVC任务来训练跨模态检索和定位图像中的声源。我们做出了以下贡献：(i)表明可以学习音频和视频嵌入，从而实现模式内（例如音频到音频）和模式间检索；(ii)探索用于AVC任务的各种架构，包括用于摄取单个图像、或多个图像、或单个图像和多帧光流的视觉流的架构；(iii)表明图像中声音的语义对象可以被定位（只使用声音，不使用运动或流动信息）；以及(iv)给出一个警示故事，说明如何避免在数据准备中走捷径。

英文摘要：
  In this paper our objectives are, first, networks that can embed audio and visual inputs into a common space that is suitable for cross-modal retrieval; and second, a network that can localize the object that sounds in an image, given the audio signal. We achieve both these objectives by training from unlabelled video using only audio-visual correspondence (AVC) as the objective function. This is a form of cross-modal self-supervision from video.   To this end, we design new network architectures that can be trained for cross-modal retrieval and localizing the sound source in an image, by using the AVC task. We make the following contributions: (i) show that audio and visual embeddings can be learnt that enable both within-mode (e.g. audio-to-audio) and between-mode retrieval; (ii) explore various architectures for the AVC task, including those for the visual stream that ingest a single image, or multiple images, or a single image and multi-frame optical flow; (iii) show that the semantic object that sounds within an image can be localized (using only the sound, no motion or flow information); and (iv) give a cautionary tale on how to avoid undesirable shortcuts in the data preparation.
