摘要翻译：
在本文中，我们探讨了自然图像和描述这些图像内容的语音波形的神经网络嵌入的学习。这些嵌入是直接从波形中学习的，而不使用语言转录或传统的语音识别技术。虽然以前的工作是在单语情况下使用英语语音数据来研究这种情况，但这项工作代表了将这些技术应用于英语以外的语言的第一次努力。使用收集的英语和印地语的口语字幕，我们表明相同的模型体系结构可以成功地应用于两种语言。此外，我们还证明了在两种语言上同时训练一个多语言模型比单语言模型具有更好的性能。最后，我们证明了这些模型能够执行语义跨语言语音对语音的检索。

一级分类：Computer Science        计算机科学
二级分类：Computation and Language        计算与语言
分类描述：Covers natural language processing. Roughly includes material in ACM Subject Class I.2.7. Note that work on artificial languages (programming languages, logics, formal systems) that does not explicitly address natural-language issues broadly construed (natural-language processing, computational linguistics, speech, text retrieval, etc.) is not appropriate for this area.
涵盖自然语言处理。大致包括ACM科目I.2.7类的材料。请注意，人工语言（编程语言、逻辑学、形式系统）的工作，如果没有明确地解决广义的自然语言问题（自然语言处理、计算语言学、语音、文本检索等），就不适合这个领域。

英文摘要：
  In this paper, we explore the learning of neural network embeddings for natural images and speech waveforms describing the content of those images. These embeddings are learned directly from the waveforms without the use of linguistic transcriptions or conventional speech recognition technology. While prior work has investigated this setting in the monolingual case using English speech data, this work represents the first effort to apply these techniques to languages beyond English. Using spoken captions collected in English and Hindi, we show that the same model architecture can be successfully applied to both languages. Further, we demonstrate that training a multilingual model simultaneously on both languages offers improved performance over the monolingual models. Finally, we show that these models are capable of performing semantic cross-lingual speech-to-speech retrieval.
