Abstract(in English) This paper presents an unsupervised approach of integrating speech and visual information without using any prepared data, which enables a humanoid robot to learn words with their meanings. The approach is different from most other existing approaches in that it learns online from audio-visual input, rather than from stationary data provided in advance. In addition, it is capable of learning incrementally which is considered to be indispensable to lifelong learning. A noise-robust self-organized growing neural network is developed to represent the topological structure of unsupervised online data. We are also developing an active learning mechanism, called."desire for knowledge", to let the robot select the object with the least information for subsequent learning. Experimental results show that it makes the learning process more efficient.
