| "text": "It may thus be desirable to incorporate similar representations in neural architectures. Accordingly, multiple efforts have been made to design neural networks with discrete hidden representations and to apply them to spoken language data. This is evident in the recent editions of the ZeroSpeech challenge (Dunbar et al., 2019) on unit discovery, which have featured many such approaches. Specifically, Vector Quantization (VQ) has proven to be a simple and effective method to induce discrete neural representations (e.g., van den Oord et al., 2017; Harwath et al., 2020a; Chung et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2021) . VQ layers are added to neural architectures in order to map continuous activation vectors onto a finite set of discrete units, often referred to as codes, via a dictionary (or codebook) associating these codes with their vector embeddings; the number of entries in the codebook is the codebook size. Such symbolic codes have been claimed to correspond to phonemes and/or words. What is still lacking though is a detailed analysis of how much the reported equivalence is affected by details of the architectures such as the size and placement of the VQ layers, learning objectives and dataset, as well as by the evaluation metrics used to quantify it. The present study aims to fill this gap.", | |

| "text": "We study two approaches to modeling spoken language: learning driven by language-internal structure, and learning driven by grounding in the extra-linguistic world. These two approaches are exemplified by two types of models with VQ layers: the self-supervised model for unit discovery of van Niekerk et al.

The datasets used to train each model, Zerospeech 2020 (Dunbar et al., 2020) and Flickr8K (Harwath and Glass, 2015; Rashtchian et al., 2010) are also typical of the task they are used for. Using these two models as our test cases, we systematically investigate the impact of the following factors: (i) the codebook size for the VQ layer, and (ii) the level of placement of the VQ layer. Furthermore, we apply and check the consistency across four different metrics for evaluating the correspondence of the representations with phonemes.", | |

The visually grounded model, on the other hand, generally shows the closest match with phonemes for the largest codebook sizes (512 or 1024) when evaluated on full utterances. In contrast, smaller codebooks score higher for the short utterance segments used by the ABX metric (i.e. minimal pairs of phoneme triples). We also observe inconsistencies in the relative performance of VQ layers placed at different levels in the model for RSA vs. the other metrics. As discussed in Section 5, we attribute those inconsistencies to the properties of the different metrics. Thus, the conclusions drawn using a single metric, even a widely used one like the ZeroSpeech ABX metric, should be treated with caution, and further corroborated.", | |

(2017), who propose generative models based on the variational auto-encoder (VAE) architecture and use VQ to induce discrete latent representations. They apply this method to images, videos, and speech, and show that the models can learn discrete latent representations without supervision. When applied to raw speech, the VQ-VAE architecture learns high-level discrete representations that are invariant to low-level features of the audio signal such as prosody and speaker identity, and mostly encode the content of the speech. Classification of the discrete representations into phoneme classes (based on majority ground truth label) suggests they capture phonemes to some extent.", | |

In the 2015 Zero Resource Speech Challenge (Versteegh et al., 2015) , Badino et al. (2015) present a binarized auto-encoder, certain variants of which outperform its continuous counterpart. In the 2017, 2019, and 2020 editions of this challenge (Dunbar et al., 2017 (Dunbar et al., , 2019 (Dunbar et al., , 2020 , following the work of van den Oord et al. 2017, several models include at least one VQ layer (see e.g. Chorowski et al., 2019; Eloff et al., 2019; Tjandra et al., 2019 Tjandra et al., , 2020 . These studies demonstrate the benefit of using VQ layers for phoneme classification and for learning speaker-invariant representations, focusing on the ABX phoneme discrimination metric to evaluate the encoding of phonemic information. However, little analysis on the impact of the size and configuration of the employed VQ layers is performed. For example, van Niekerk et al. (2020) train a VQ-VAE model for reconstructing audio waveforms, and a VQ-CPC (Contrastive Predictive Coding) model for predicting future acoustic units. They evaluate these architectures on the ABX phoneme discrimination task, voice conversion and speaker classification and show that VQ-CPC performs better than VQ-VAE overall, but they do not manipulate the configuration or the dimension of the VQ layers. Chung et al. (2020) , however, report the impact on phoneme and speaker classification of systematic manipulation of VQ-related factors. They train an Autoregressive Predictive Coding (APC) model to predict upcoming frames, and use VQ as a methodology to limit the model's capacity. Using a frame-wise diagnostic classifier (namely linear logistic regression), they show that under restricted configurations (only one VQ layer inserted at the In contrast to the work cited above, which discusses uni-modal speech models, Harwath et al. (2020a) use VQ layers within the setting of learning spoken language via grounding in the visual modality, where the speech signal is associated to images (for an overview of visually grounded speech models, see Chrupa\u0142a, 2021) . They hypothesize that discrete representations learned by such models are more likely to capture higher-level semantic information. Their analyses suggest that the trained multimodal models can learn discrete linguistic units at both word and sub-word levels, with quantization layers inserted at the lower levels of the network showing correspondence to sub-word (i.e. phonemic) units, and those inserted at the higher level corresponding to word-level units. Analyses are based on the Zerospeech ABX metric for phoneme encoding and F1 scores for word detection. Similarly, Liu et al. (2021) propose a framework based on VQ to discover discrete concepts in models of visually grounded language trained on video and text, video and audio or image and audio. Evidence of a correspondence between the learned concepts and visual entities/actions or words are given but no detailed analysis is performed.", | |

| "text": "We investigate evaluation metrics for the analysis of discrete representations induced through vector quatization. Since phoneme classification/identification has been the dominant analysis task for discrete representations of speech, we use this as our main task. We do so through the specific case of speech representations learned by two different models: a self-supervised model of speech trained to reconstruct the audio waveform, and a visually-supervised model of spoken language which maps audio representations of spoken ut-terances and visual representations of their corresponding images to a shared semantic space. Both models employ VQ layers in their architecture to induce discretized representations. A VQ layer takes as input a continuous distributed representation in the form of a vector h \u2208 R d , and returns the closest of K prototype vectors contained in a trainable codebook {e 1 , e 2 , . . . , e K } where e i \u2208 R d . For a sequence of continuous vectors (h 1 , h 2 , . . . , h n ) the discrete codes are given by the sequence of indices of the prototype vectors returned by the VQ layer. Since the arg max operation needed to select the nearest vector is not differentiable, the gradient for backpropagation is approximated by using the straight-through estimator (Bengio et al., 2013) , which replaces each non-differentiable operation with the identity function for the backward pass.

We similarly adapt the architecture used in Merkx et al. (2019) and by inserting a single VQ layer at one of three levels: either following the first, second or third GRU layer of the speech encoder. In addition to VQ layer placement, we also vary the size of the codebook. Note that unlike Harwath et al. (2020a) we do not use a pre-training stage which by-passes the VQ layers; rather, we train the complete network from scratch. This model thus consists of an image encoder, which takes as input image features extracted via a pre-trained ResNet-152 model (He et al., 2016) and maps these features via a learned affine transform into a joint visual-language space. The audio input are MFCC features with total energy and delta and double-delta coefficients with combined size 39. The speech encoder consists of one 1D convolutional layer (with 64 output channels) which subsamples the input by a factor of two, four bidirectional GRU layers (each of size 2048), with a VQ layer inserted between a single pair of GRU layers. This stack is followed by a self-attention-based pooling layer. The objective function is a version of the triplet loss with negative examples from the current batch.

| "text": "Diagnostic Classifier (DC) A diagnostic model, also known as a probe, is a classifier or regressor trained to predict some information of interest (such as a linguistic annotation) given a neural representation. To the extent that the model successfully predicts the annotation, we conclude that the neural representation encodes this information. Informally, such a diagnostic classifier can be seen as quantifying the amount of easily-accessible -or in the extreme case, linearly decodable -information about the target annotation (Adi et al., 2017; Alishahi et al., 2017; Hupkes et al., 2018; Conneau et al., 2018, among others) . As argued by Pimentel et al. (2020) , without the qualification that information be easily accessible, probing should aim to approximate the mutual information between the neural representation and the target annotation, and thus should use the bestperforming probe possible. Furthermore, it is not possible for the neural representation to contain more information about the target annotation than the source utterance itself, due to the information processing inequality, and thus, in the general case, probing with an unrestricted classifier is not a wellfounded exercise. In the special case of probing a discrete-valued variable (as is the case in our study) the situation is simpler: the accuracy of a linear classifier is closely related to the empirical estimate of the mutual information between the representation and the target annotation; see the formal argument in Appendix A.1 as well as our empirical results.", | |

| "text": "RSA is a second-order technique originating in neuroscience (Kriegeskorte et al., 2008) where similarities between pairs of stimuli are measured in two representation spaces: e.g. neural activation pattern space and a space of symbolic linguistic annotations such as sequences of phonemes or syntax trees. The correlation between these pairwise similarity measurements quantifies how much the two representations are aligned. This approach requires a similarity or distance metric for pairs of stimuli within each representation space, but does not need a way of mapping from one space to the other. It generally does not have any trainable parameters. As a consequence, it is sensitive to the purity of the representation with regard to the variable of interest: unlike DC, the RSA metric will penalize representations for encoding any information unrelated to the target variable. See for example Bouchacourt and Baroni 2018 When the neural representations of the stimuli evaluated are sequences of vectors, we need to make a choice regarding how to measure similarities or distances between them. Here we focus on neural representations which take the form of sequences of symbolic codes, which makes measuring distances simple: a natural choice is the Levenshtein edit distance normalized by the length of the longer string. We can thus apply the same edit-distance metric on both the neural representations and on the reference sequences of phonemes or words (for efficiency we collapsed code repetitions).", | |

With RSA, pairwise distances are measured between gold representations of stimuli (e.g. their phonemic transcriptions) as well as between system representations of the same set of stimuli. The correlation coefficient between these two sets of distance measurements is the RSA score. With RSA there is no notion of a stimulus triple, but rather the score reflects distances between all pairs of stimuli. Likewise, the representation of stimuli according to the gold standard is typically not in the form of atomic categorical labels but can be any representation with an associated distance (or similarity) metric. Thus RSA can be seen as more general than ABX, while being less controlled. Table 2 summarizes the main characteristics of the evaluation metrics described above in the context of analyzing neural representations of speech, along the following facets: the need to arrange input in the form of minimalpaired stimulus triples, the need for alignment between input/codes and phonemic transcriptions, the presence of trainable parameters, and reliance on a distance metric between stimuli. According to these criteria, RSA and NMI are the least restricted in their applicability, requiring only a distance function or alignment, respectively. In addition to a distance metric, ABX needs minimal-paired stimulus triples to be extracted. In addition to alignment DC has trainable parameters, and in the case of analyzing discrete codes, it behaves like an approximation to the NMI metric.", | |

The three points can be explained by the sensitivity of RSA to the purity of the representations. Focusing on the last point first, while representations extracted from untrained models can still contain meaningful information, it will be less explicit and mixed with information that is not relevant for the task of interest. A similar explanation might also hold for the first two points; in particular, we observed that the VQ layers at level 1 retain much more information on the speaker than the other two levels and that the encoding of speaker information increases with the size of the codebook (see Section A.4 of the Supplementary Material for related experiments).", | |

First, we re-calculate RSA using the same phoneme trigram files used for ABX. The correlation coefficient between ABX and this version of RSA is much stronger (see Table 3 ), suggesting that the type of stimulus used to test the model does play a role. The other experiment goes in the opposite direction and brings the ABX evaluation closer to the other three metrics. Training the target model on full sentences but applying it to short segments could play a role. Thus, we run an additional set of experiments where we apply the models to full utterances and generate the representation used in ABX by extracting the portion of the code sequence corresponding to each phoneme trigram from the full sequence of activations. The correlation with RSA is still low (0.14) indicating that the problem is intrisic to the evaluation relying on phoneme triplets and not train/test mismatch. This impact of stimulus size on results is likely related to the fact that, with very short stimuli, most normalized edit distances will be maximum, or near maximum, and this will especially be the case for large codebook sizes, giving very skewed and long-tailed edit distance distributions (see details in Section A.3 in the Supplementary Material).", | |

Table 4 presents skew and excess kurtosis of edit distance distributions for both target models, using codebooks of size 32 and 1024 and trained on long and short segments, confirming the hypothesis that the combination of short segments and large codebooks leads to skewed distributions. Figure 3 shows accuracy of diagnostic classifiers trained on code sequences encoded as vectors of code frequencies. For visually-supervised models, speaker identity is represented to some degree in untrained models, for codebooks of all sizes and at all levels, and most strongly for large codebook sizes at level 1. After training, we observe differentiated patterns for VQ layers at level 1 versus 2 and 3. While speaker identity is emphasized in codebooks at level 1 compared to the untrained models, it is weakened for subsequent layers, to the point of being effectively removed at level 3. These results indicate that VQ layers at level 1 represent speaker-dependent information, possibly encoding acoustic rather than phonemic information. The self-supervised models show results similar to the visually-supervised models with the VQ layer at level 1 when trained, but capture nearly no speaker information before training. ", | |
