Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of natural language processing, and in particular relates to a multimodal sentiment analysis method based on disentanglement representation learning. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent human-computer interaction, intelligent medical care and robotics, the application scope of multimodal data has been greatly expanded, providing a strong driving force for the research of Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (MSA). Human emotional expression is usually an organic fusion of natural language, facial expressions and vocal behavior. Emotion plays an important role in promoting human interaction, shaping communication methods and assisting decision-making. As an important research direction, multimodal sentiment analysis is committed to understanding human emotional information from multiple dimensions by parsing multimodal data such as text, audio and video, so that machines can more comprehensively grasp human emotional states. By accurately capturing these emotional signals, machines can interact with humans more effectively and produce more natural and deeper emotional resonance.

[0003] In view of the broad application prospects of multimodal sentiment analysis, current researchers have also proposed a large number of multimodal sentiment analysis models to try to solve the core problems in the field. However, existing multimodal sentiment analysis has many shortcomings: (1) Audio and video features often contain a lot of noise and redundant information, which makes it difficult to accurately reflect the core content of emotions. (2) There are significant differences between discrete text features and continuous audio and video features, which leads to huge challenges in cross-modal learning. (3) Existing research has not paid enough attention to the key role of language modality in emotional expression and has failed to fully explore its potential value. (4) The efficiency of feature extraction, fusion and recognition of emotion-related information between different modal data is low, which makes it difficult to accurately analyze the emotional polarity of each entity in multimodal data.

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, and the above and / or other advantages of the present invention will become more clear.

[0024] This embodiment provides a multimodal sentiment analysis method based on disentanglement representation learning. The overall architecture of the system model provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the model consists of three modules: (1) feature extraction module; (2) disentanglement representation learning module; and (3) fusion module.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps: Step 1, data collection: Collect training, evaluation and test datasets that can be used for multimodal sentiment analysis. The dataset contains data in three modalities: text, audio and video. Preprocess the dataset to meet the needs of subsequent feature extraction. The "multimodal" refers to text modality, audio modality and video modality.

[0026] Step 2: Extract multimodal features: Extract text, audio, and video modal features for the input video data. Text model features Using Bert model to extract audio model features Use Librosa tool to extract features and video model features Use OpenFace to extract facial features and modal features , transformed to the same feature dimension through linear mapping, and the aligned modal features are obtained .

[0027] Step 3: Construct a disentangled representation learning network: Modality private feature generation: Modality features Input to the modality-private encoder to generate the corresponding modality-private features , , . Modal shared feature generation: Modal features Input the shared encoder at the same time to generate modality shared features . Shared Features , , Perform full connection processing to obtain global shared features .

[0028] Step 4: Modal disentanglement and adversarial optimization: Generate modal private features , , Shared features with modalities Input modality discriminator. By optimizing the parameters of modality discriminator, private encoder and shared encoder, we ensure that modality private features only contain modality-specific information, while modality shared features learn shared information between modalities, thus achieving disentangled representation learning of modality features.

[0029] Step 5, time smoothness constraint: audio modal features , and video modality features , Temporal smoothness constraints are applied to reduce redundancy and noise in audio and video features over consecutive time segments.

[0030] Step 6, feature fusion: The present invention realizes the deep fusion of audio and video modality features through a text-guided mechanism.

[0031] Low-scale fusion: low-scale text features (Right now ) and audio and video modality features and their initialization Input into the text guidance module, generate new fusion features through cross-modal attention mechanism and full connection operation .

[0032] Mesoscale Fusion: Input the first Transformer layer to generate mesoscale text features through deep modeling . Then, and The data are input into the next text guidance module, and the fusion features are generated through similar cross-modal attention mechanism and full connection processing. .

[0033] High-scale fusion: Input to the second Transformer layer to extract high-scale text features . Then, and Input to the final text-guided module to obtain the final fusion features of audio and video features .

[0034] Cross-modal interaction: text features at different scales , , Final fusion features with audio and video Interactive fusion layer by layer to generate intermediate fusion features These features are further combined with the shared features Input to the gating mechanism for processing, thereby filtering redundant information and dynamically fusing multimodal effective features, and finally generating fusion features for sentiment analysis .

[0035] Step 7, model optimization and output: by fusion features The data is input into the subsequent sentiment analysis module and combined with sentiment classification or regression tasks to generate sentiment prediction results. At the same time, the prediction accuracy and generalization ability of the model are ensured through the optimization of the loss function in the training phase.

[0036] Wherein, step 1 comprises: In the study of multimodal sentiment analysis, data collection is a key step in model training, verification and testing. In order to ensure the scientific nature of the research and the applicability of the data, this paper selects two representative and high-quality multimodal datasets: MOSI and MOSEI. The MOSI dataset was proposed by Amir Zadeh et al. in the journal IEEE Intelligent Systems in 2016 and described in detail in their paper “Amir Zadeh, Rowan Zellers, Eli Pincus, Louis-Philippe Morency, Multimodal sentiment intensity analysis in videos: Facialgestures and verbal messages, IEEE Intell. Syst. 31 (6) (2016) 82–88”. The MOSI dataset contains 93 video clips from YouTube, which cover a wide range of emotional expressions, including positive, negative and neutral emotions. The dataset contains a total of 2199 samples, as shown in Table 1. Each sample provides three modal features: text, audio, and video. At the same time, it is annotated in the range of [-3, +3] according to the intensity of emotion. The higher the value, the more positive the emotion, and the lower the value, the more negative the emotion. The MOSEI dataset is an extended version of the MOSI dataset, which was proposed by AmirAli Bagher Zadeh et al. in the 2018 56th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics paper "AmirAli BagherZadeh, Paul Pu Liang, Soujanya Poria, Erik Cambria, Louis-Philippe Morency, Multimodal language analysis in the wild: CMU-MOSEI dataset and interpretabledynamic fusion graph, in: Proceedings of the 56th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Vol. 1, 2018, pp.2236–2246". MOSEI is currently the largest public multimodal sentiment analysis dataset, containing a total of 22,856 samples, each of which is also labeled in the range of [-3, +3] according to the intensity of the sentiment.

[0037] Table 1

[0038] Step 2 includes: In the process of processing the input video file, the feature extraction model uses Bert, Librosa, and OpenFace to extract modal features of text, audio, and video respectively, denoted as : , , , Then, the features of each modal ( , For text, For audio, For video. ) to unify them to the same feature dimension, thus obtaining the aligned feature representation , , is the length of the sequence, is the length of the mode vector: , in and are the weight matrix and bias matrix of the linear mapping.

[0039] Step 3 includes: Each modal feature is input into the modality-private encoder to generate modality-private features , , , At the same time, they are input into the shared encoder to generate modality shared features , where the private encoder extracts features from each modality data through three independent encoders, while the shared encoder processes all modality data using the same encoder. The specific formula is: , , in, , , They are text private encoders , audio private encoder , Video Private Encoder Parameters, Is a shared encoder Then the present invention will share the characteristics , , Perform full connection processing to obtain global shared features : , in, and is the weight matrix, is the activation function.

[0040] Step 4 includes: During the disentanglement process, the modality discriminator processes the features extracted by the private encoder and the shared encoder to generate the probability of belonging to each modality. For example, the text private feature Input to the discriminator and get the same as text, audio, video (i.e. , , ) features. Modality Discriminator It is to classify and judge the feature representation of the input data and output the corresponding probability. Its definition formula is as follows: , in, , is the weight matrix of the discriminator. yes The transposed matrix of is the bias vector, . is the input of the modality discriminator, and the output of the discriminator Represents and corresponds to three modes ( ) related probability. In order to enhance the discriminator's ability to distinguish similar categories, the cross entropy loss function based on arc cosine is used, which is specifically defined as: , , , in, is the target modality of the input sample, is the weight vector of mode m, is the target mode The weight vector of is the input feature vector, The input eigenvectors and modes are calculated The angle of The input eigenvector and the target mode are calculated The angle of The cross entropy loss is calculated. is the scaling factor, is the marginal parameter. Then the weighted sum is taken for each label to calculate the overall adversarial loss: , , in, is the batch size, For the modal The features of the target modality are calculated The cross entropy loss between . is the adversarial loss of shared features, is the adversarial loss of private features. The goal of shared features is opposite to that of the modality discriminator, that is, to generate consistent features, so the gradient of the shared encoder is reversed during back propagation. It remains fixed during forward propagation.

[0041] Step 5 includes: The temporal smoothness loss based on KL divergence is introduced to measure the changing characteristics of audio and video modalities in continuous time, thereby reducing redundancy and noise. KL divergence is defined as: , , are two probability distributions, and They are respectively The formula calculates the value of the event In distribution Probability and distribution under Taking audio features as an example, the KL divergence of three consecutive frames of audio features is calculated. The specific steps are as follows: , , , in, and Respectively represent Frame audio modality private features and Frame audio modality shared features, yes The processed results are averaged. and Indicates the audio feature in The private and shared features of a frame are defined by The average value after the operation. Indicates the frame number. , The audio feature is The sliding average of the private and shared features of a frame, , , is the temporal smoothness loss of audio features; For video features, the KL divergence of three consecutive frames of audio features is calculated. The formula is: , , , in, and Respectively represent Frame video modality private features and Frame video modality shared features, and Indicates the video feature in The private and shared features of a frame are defined by The average value after the operation. , The video feature is The sliding average of the private and shared features of a frame, is the temporal smoothness loss of the video feature. In order to enhance the coordination of audio and video modalities in continuous time, the present invention first evaluates the feature deviation of the two modalities in continuous time, and constructs a consistency loss function based on this. The specific formula is as follows: , , , in, and Respectively represent the feature differences between consecutive frames of video and audio modalities, It is Frame and The average value of + , is the consistency loss.

[0042] Through the above steps, the temporal smoothness loss of audio and video features is calculated, and finally the following formula is obtained to express the overall temporal smoothness loss: , Through temporal smoothness loss, the present invention can effectively reduce redundant information in audio and video features and ensure their consistency in the temporal dimension, thereby improving the performance of the model in multimodal tasks.

[0043] Step 6 includes:

[0044] The deep fusion of audio and video modalities is achieved through the text-guided mechanism, aiming to fully explore the semantic information contained in the text modality and use it as the core factor to guide the fusion of audio and video features, thereby enhancing the cross-modal synergy and semantic consistency. Figure 4 As shown, in the cross-modal interaction layer, the present invention uses text features of different scales and fusion features of audio and video to fuse layer by layer, and the obtained fusion features Further sent to the gate control mechanism and shared features to be processed.

[0045] Low-scale text information mainly focuses on the emotional features at the word or phrase level, medium-scale text information focuses more on the emotional expression at the sentence level, and high-scale text information focuses on the emotional trend in the global context. The present invention performs multi-level feature extraction on text data through the Transformer layer, generates text representations of different scales, and inputs these text features as guidance information into the text guidance module to further assist the initial fusion of audio and video modalities.

[0046] Step 6.1, low-scale fusion: The present invention first initializes a learnable parameter tensor , and then the low-scale text features ( ), audio features , Video Features and are input into the text guidance module. Figure 3 As shown in Figure 2, the core of the text-guided module lies in the cross-modal attention mechanism. In the cross-modal attention calculation, taking audio features as an example, text modality features is used as the query vector Q, the audio modality features As the key vector K and value vector V respectively, we get and The similarity matrix : , in, and is the learnable parameter matrix, Represents the dimension of each attention head. Text features and video features The similarity matrix The calculation of The calculation is similar: , After cross-modal attention calculation, a fused intermediate feature representation is generated, which is then combined with the fully connected features of audio and video. Further fusion, finally generating new fusion features : , in, and are all learnable parameter matrices.

[0047] Step 6.2, mesoscale fusion: In order to further mine the mesoscale text information of the text modality, Input into the first Transformer layer, and generate mesoscale text features through deep modeling : , in, represents the first Transformer layer, is the parameter of the first Transformer layer. and mesoscale text features is input into the next text-guided module. Similar to the previous text-guided module, through cross-modal attention and full connection, we get : , in, , , , , and are all learnable parameter matrices.

[0048] Step 6.3, high-scale fusion: Then put Input to the second Transformer layer to extract high-scale text features ,then and It is input into the last text-guided module to obtain the final fusion features of audio features and video features. : , , in, represents the second Transformer layer, are the parameters of the second Transformer layer, , , is a learnable parameter matrix;

[0049] Step 6.4, cross-modal interaction: The features extracted from the text modality at low, medium, and high scales are used as query vectors Q, and the fusion features of audio and video are As the key vector K and the value vector V. Based on this, the fusion feature is calculated through the cross-modal attention mechanism, and the layer normalization is performed on the basis of the fusion feature, and then further modeled through the feedforward network (FFN), and the final fusion feature is obtained. The calculation is as follows: , , , in, , , , is the learnable parameter matrix, is the output after calculation by the cross-modal self-attention mechanism, yes After normalization, the output Represent text features at different scales; hour, , , is a low-scale text feature With fusion features The learnable parameter matrix in the cross-modal attention mechanism, yes and The output after calculation by the cross-modal self-attention mechanism, yes Output after normalization; hour, , , is the mesoscale text feature With fusion features The learnable parameter matrix in the cross-modal attention mechanism, yes and The output after calculation by the cross-modal self-attention mechanism, yes Output after normalization; hour, , , It is a high-scale text feature With fusion features The learnable parameter matrix in the cross-modal attention mechanism, yes and The output after calculation by the cross-modal self-attention mechanism, yes The output after normalization.

[0050] represents normalization, represents a feed-forward network; , , Represent the multimodal fusion features generated at low, medium and high scales respectively. The present invention introduces a gating mechanism to filter redundant information and dynamically screen the effective information between different modalities. Specifically, the fusion features at different scales are and shared modal features Weighted fusion via gating mechanism: , , , ,

The present invention firstly transforms the input Multiply it element by element with the weight matrix, and then sum and pool the matrix after element-by-element multiplication to get , and then L2 normalization is performed to ensure the same scale. Finally, a linear mapping weighted sum is performed to obtain the final fusion feature This feature integrates the information of multimodal features at different scales and significantly improves the effect of cross-modal fusion.

[0052] Step 7 includes:

[0053] The fused multimodal features As input, it is passed to the multi-layer perceptron and outputs the sentiment prediction result through nonlinear transformation. : ,

[0054] In the process of model training, in order to make the prediction results as close as possible to the real emotional label, this paper uses mean square error (MSE) as the main loss function for task learning. Its calculation formula is as follows: ,

[0055] in, is the sentiment label of the nth sample, is the prediction of the model of the present invention, is the number of samples in the dataset. , the model can better fit the sentiment label and improve the accuracy of sentiment prediction. So the final total loss function is: ,

[0056] in, , and is a hyperparameter used to balance the weight between task loss and regularization loss. By optimizing the above-mentioned loss functions, the model can more fully explore the synergistic relationship and temporal consistency between multimodal features, thereby achieving accurate modeling of sentiment prediction tasks and further improving the generalization ability and practical application effect of the model.
