Abstract
Voxento is an interactive voice-based retrieval system for lifelogs which has been redeveloped and optimised to participate in the fifth Lifelog Search Challenge LSC’22, at ACM ICMR’22. Based on the previous experience in the LSC competition and ranked in the top 4 in the last LSC’21 competition among 17 participants, we present a revised version of Voxento to address the critical points to improve the efficiency of retrieval tasks in lifelog datasets. Basically, Voxento provides a spoken interface to the lifelog data, which facilitates an expert and novice user to interact with a personal lifelog using a range of vocal commands and interactions. Briefly, we made some important improvements to support both the retrieval of content and system interaction. This latest version has been enhanced with the addition of a text-based search feature, new filters based on new metadata provided in lifelog data, rich visual information and features and enhanced speech query. Also, the data preparation tasks comprised a new function to reduce the number of non-relevant images and the latest CLIP model version used to derive features from images. The long term development of Voxento includes a lifelog retrieval that supports speech and conversation interaction with less physical actions required by users such as using a mouse. The system presented here uses a desktop computer in order to participate in the LSC’22 competition with the option to use voice interaction or standard text-based retrieval.
