Visual Speech Recognition (VSR) is the task of predicting spoken words from silent lip movements. VSR is regarded as a challenging task because of the insufficient information on lip movements. In this paper, we propose an Audio Knowledge…
Weakly supervised Audio-Visual Video Parsing (AVVP) aims to recognize and temporally localize audio, visual, and audio-visual events in videos using only coarse-grained labels. Faced with the challenging task settings, existing research…
Nowadays, speech is becoming a more common, if not standard, interface to technology. This can be seen in the trend of technology changes over the years. Increasingly, voice is used to control programs, appliances and personal devices…
Speaker verification is a task of confirming an individual's identity through the analysis of their voice. Whispered speech differs from phonated speech in acoustic characteristics, which degrades the performance of speaker verification…
Quality and intelligibility of speech signals are degraded under additive background noise which is a critical problem for hearing aid and cochlear implant users. Motivated to address this problem, we propose a novel speech enhancement…
Grounded video description (GVD) encourages captioning models to attend to appropriate video regions (e.g., objects) dynamically and generate a description. Such a setting can help explain the decisions of captioning models and prevents the…
Forced alignment refers to a technology that time-aligns a given transcription with a corresponding speech. However, as the forced alignment technologies have developed using speech audio, they might fail in alignment when the input speech…
Developing Video-Grounded Dialogue Systems (VGDS), where a dialogue is conducted based on visual and audio aspects of a given video, is significantly more challenging than traditional image or text-grounded dialogue systems because (1)…
This article investigates the use of deep neural networks (DNNs) for hearing-loss compensation. Hearing loss is a prevalent issue affecting millions of people worldwide, and conventional hearing aids have limitations in providing…
Recent deep research systems have improved the ability of large language models to produce long, grounded reports through iterative retrieval and reasoning. However, most text-centered systems rely mainly on textual evidence, while…
In this work, we present, AVR application for audio-visual humor detection. While humor detection has traditionally centered around textual analysis, recent advancements have spotlighted multimodal approaches. However, these methods lean on…
We consider the task of generating diverse and realistic videos guided by natural audio samples from a wide variety of semantic classes. For this task, the videos are required to be aligned both globally and temporally with the input audio:…
Scene-aware dialog systems will be able to have conversations with users about the objects and events around them. Progress on such systems can be made by integrating state-of-the-art technologies from multiple research areas including…
Recently, 3D vision-and-language tasks have attracted increasing research interest. Compared to other vision-and-language tasks, the 3D visual question answering (VQA) task is less exploited and is more susceptible to language priors and…
While video-to-audio generation has achieved remarkable progress in semantic and temporal alignment, most existing studies focus solely on these aspects, paying limited attention to the spatial perception and immersive quality of the…
When speaking in presence of background noise, humans reflexively change their way of speaking in order to improve the intelligibility of their speech. This reflex is known as Lombard effect. Collecting speech in Lombard conditions is…
Dialog systems need to understand dynamic visual scenes in order to have conversations with users about the objects and events around them. Scene-aware dialog systems for real-world applications could be developed by integrating…
Reverberation conveys critical acoustic cues about the environment, supporting spatial awareness and immersion. For auditory augmented reality (AAR) systems, generating perceptually plausible reverberation in real time remains a key…
Visual speech, referring to the visual domain of speech, has attracted increasing attention due to its wide applications, such as public security, medical treatment, military defense, and film entertainment. As a powerful AI strategy, deep…
Language models pretrained on text-only corpora often struggle with tasks that require auditory commonsense knowledge. Previous work addresses this problem by augmenting the language model to retrieve knowledge from external audio…
