With the development of deep learning and artificial intelligence, audio synthesis has a pivotal role in the area of machine learning and shows strong applicability in the industry. Meanwhile, significant efforts have been dedicated by researchers to handle multimodal tasks at present such as audio-visual multimodal processing. In this paper, we conduct a survey on audio synthesis and audio-visual multimodal processing, which helps understand current research and future trends. This review focuses on text to speech(TTS), music generation and some tasks that combine visual and acoustic information. The corresponding technical methods are comprehensively classified and introduced, and their future development trends are prospected. This survey can provide some guidance for researchers who are interested in the areas like audio synthesis and audio-visual multimodal processing.

While deep neural networks have shown powerful performance in many audio applications, their large computation and memory demand has been a challenge for real-time processing. In this paper, we study the impact of scaling the precision of neural netw
orks on the performance of two common audio processing tasks, namely, voice-activity detection and single-channel speech enhancement. We determine the optimal pair of weight/neuron bit precision by exploring its impact on both the performance and processing time. Through experiments conducted with real user data, we demonstrate that deep neural networks that use lower bit precision significantly reduce the processing time (up to 30x). However, their performance impact is low (< 3.14%) only in the case of classification tasks such as those present in voice activity detection.
In this paper, we compare different audio signal representations, including the raw audio waveform and a variety of time-frequency representations, for the task of audio synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). We conduct the experiment
s on a subset of the NSynth dataset. The architecture follows the benchmark Progressive Growing Wasserstein GAN. We perform experiments both in a fully non-conditional manner as well as conditioning the network on the pitch information. We quantitatively evaluate the generated material utilizing standard metrics for assessing generative models, and compare training and sampling times. We show that complex-valued as well as the magnitude and Instantaneous Frequency of the Short-Time Fourier Transform achieve the best results, and yield fast generation and inversion times. The code for feature extraction, training and evaluating the model is available online.
Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) can effectively and significantly improve the recognition rates of small-vocabulary systems, compared to their audio-only counterparts. For large-vocabulary systems, however, there are still many difficulties, s
uch as unsatisfactory video recognition accuracies, that make it hard to improve over audio-only baselines. In this paper, we specifically consider such scenarios, focusing on the large-vocabulary task of the LRS2 database, where audio-only performance is far superior to video-only accuracies, making this an interesting and challenging setup for multi-modal integration. To address the inherent difficulties, we propose a new fusion strategy: a recurrent integration network is trained to fuse the state posteriors of multiple single-modality models, guided by a set of model-based and signal-based stream reliability measures. During decoding, this network is used for stream integration within a hybrid recognizer, where it can thus cope with the time-variant reliability and information content of its multiple feature inputs. We compare the results with end-to-end AVSR systems as well as with competitive hybrid baseline models, finding that the new fusion strategy shows superior results, on average even outperforming oracle dynamic stream weighting, which has so far marked the -- realistically unachievable -- upper bound for standard stream weighting. Even though the pure lipreading performance is low, audio-visual integration is helpful under all -- clean, noisy, and reverberant -- conditions. On average, the new system achieves a relative word error rate reduction of 42.18% compared to the audio-only model, pointing at a high effectiveness of the proposed integration approach.
Immersive audio-visual perception relies on the spatial integration of both auditory and visual information which are heterogeneous sensing modalities with different fields of reception and spatial resolution. This study investigates the perceived co
herence of audiovisual object events presented either centrally or peripherally with horizontally aligned/misaligned sound. Various object events were selected to represent three acoustic feature classes. Subjective test results in a simulated virtual environment from 18 participants indicate a wider capture region in the periphery, with an outward bias favoring more lateral sounds. Centered stimulus results support previous findings for simpler scenes.
This paper presents the details of the Audio-Visual Scene Classification task in the DCASE 2021 Challenge (Task 1 Subtask B). The task is concerned with classification using audio and video modalities, using a dataset of synchronized recordings. This
task has attracted 43 submissions from 13 different teams around the world. Among all submissions, more than half of the submitted systems have better performance than the baseline. The common techniques among the top systems are the usage of large pretrained models such as ResNet or EfficientNet which are trained for the task-specific problem. Fine-tuning, transfer learning, and data augmentation techniques are also employed to boost the performance. More importantly, multi-modal methods using both audio and video are employed by all the top 5 teams. The best system among all achieved a logloss of 0.195 and accuracy of 93.8%, compared to the baseline system with logloss of 0.662 and accuracy of 77.1%.
