Lip reading, aiming to recognize spoken sentences according to the given video of lip movements without relying on the audio stream, has attracted great interest due to its application in many scenarios. Although prior works that explore lip reading have obtained salient achievements, they are all trained in a non-simultaneous manner where the predictions are generated requiring access to the full video. To breakthrough this constraint, we study the task of simultaneous lip reading and devise SimulLR, a simultaneous lip Reading transducer with attention-guided adaptive memory from three aspects: (1) To address the challenge of monotonic alignments while considering the syntactic structure of the generated sentences under simultaneous setting, we build a transducer-based model and design several effective training strategies including CTC pre-training, model warm-up and curriculum learning to promote the training of the lip reading transducer. (2) To learn better spatio-temporal representations for simultaneous encoder, we construct a truncated 3D convolution and time-restricted self-attention layer to perform the frame-to-frame interaction within a video segment containing fixed number of frames. (3) The history information is always limited due to the storage in real-time scenarios, especially for massive video data. Therefore, we devise a novel attention-guided adaptive memory to organize semantic information of history segments and enhance the visual representations with acceptable computation-aware latency. The experiments show that the SimulLR achieves the translation speedup 9.10$times$ compared with the state-of-the-art non-simultaneous methods, and also obtains competitive results, which indicates the effectiveness of our proposed methods.

Describing images using natural language is widely known as image captioning, which has made consistent progress due to the development of computer vision and natural language generation techniques. Though conventional captioning models achieve high
accuracy based on popular metrics, i.e., BLEU, CIDEr, and SPICE, the ability of captions to distinguish the target image from other similar images is under-explored. To generate distinctive captions, a few pioneers employ contrastive learning or re-weighted the ground-truth captions, which focuses on one single input image. However, the relationships between objects in a similar image group (e.g., items or properties within the same album or fine-grained events) are neglected. In this paper, we improve the distinctiveness of image captions using a Group-based Distinctive Captioning Model (GdisCap), which compares each image with other images in one similar group and highlights the uniqueness of each image. In particular, we propose a group-based memory attention (GMA) module, which stores object features that are unique among the image group (i.e., with low similarity to objects in other images). These unique object features are highlighted when generating captions, resulting in more distinctive captions. Furthermore, the distinctive words in the ground-truth captions are selected to supervise the language decoder and GMA. Finally, we propose a new evaluation metric, distinctive word rate (DisWordRate) to measure the distinctiveness of captions. Quantitative results indicate that the proposed method significantly improves the distinctiveness of several baseline models, and achieves the state-of-the-art performance on both accuracy and distinctiveness. Results of a user study agree with the quantitative evaluation and demonstrate the rationality of the new metric DisWordRate.
Lip-reading aims to recognize speech content from videos via visual analysis of speakers lip movements. This is a challenging task due to the existence of homophemes-words which involve identical or highly similar lip movements, as well as diverse li
p appearances and motion patterns among the speakers. To address these challenges, we propose a novel lip-reading model which captures not only the nuance between words but also styles of different speakers, by a multi-grained spatio-temporal modeling of the speaking process. Specifically, we first extract both frame-level fine-grained features and short-term medium-grained features by the visual front-end, which are then combined to obtain discriminative representations for words with similar phonemes. Next, a bidirectional ConvLSTM augmented with temporal attention aggregates spatio-temporal information in the entire input sequence, which is expected to be able to capture the coarse-gained patterns of each word and robust to various conditions in speaker identity, lighting conditions, and so on. By making full use of the information from different levels in a unified framework, the model is not only able to distinguish words with similar pronunciations, but also becomes robust to appearance changes. We evaluate our method on two challenging word-level lip-reading benchmarks and show the effectiveness of the proposed method, which also demonstrate the above claims.
Lip reading, also known as visual speech recognition, aims to recognize the speech content from videos by analyzing the lip dynamics. There have been several appealing progress in recent years, benefiting much from the rapidly developed deep learning
techniques and the recent large-scale lip-reading datasets. Most existing methods obtained high performance by constructing a complex neural network, together with several customized training strategies which were always given in a very brief description or even shown only in the source code. We find that making proper use of these strategies could always bring exciting improvements without changing much of the model. Considering the non-negligible effects of these strategies and the existing tough status to train an effective lip reading model, we perform a comprehensive quantitative study and comparative analysis, for the first time, to show the effects of several different choices for lip reading. By only introducing some easy-to-get refinements to the baseline pipeline, we obtain an obvious improvement of the performance from 83.7% to 88.4% and from 38.2% to 55.7% on two largest public available lip reading datasets, LRW and LRW-1000, respectively. They are comparable and even surpass the existing state-of-the-art results.
Lip reading has witnessed unparalleled development in recent years thanks to deep learning and the availability of large-scale datasets. Despite the encouraging results achieved, the performance of lip reading, unfortunately, remains inferior to the
one of its counterpart speech recognition, due to the ambiguous nature of its actuations that makes it challenging to extract discriminant features from the lip movement videos. In this paper, we propose a new method, termed as Lip by Speech (LIBS), of which the goal is to strengthen lip reading by learning from speech recognizers. The rationale behind our approach is that the features extracted from speech recognizers may provide complementary and discriminant clues, which are formidable to be obtained from the subtle movements of the lips, and consequently facilitate the training of lip readers. This is achieved, specifically, by distilling multi-granularity knowledge from speech recognizers to lip readers. To conduct this cross-modal knowledge distillation, we utilize an efficacious alignment scheme to handle the inconsistent lengths of the audios and videos, as well as an innovative filtering strategy to refine the speech recognizers prediction. The proposed method achieves the new state-of-the-art performance on the CMLR and LRS2 datasets, outperforming the baseline by a margin of 7.66% and 2.75% in character error rate, respectively.
This paper proposes a novel lip-reading driven deep learning framework for speech enhancement. The proposed approach leverages the complementary strengths of both deep learning and analytical acoustic modelling (filtering based approach) as compared
to recently published, comparatively simpler benchmark approaches that rely only on deep learning. The proposed audio-visual (AV) speech enhancement framework operates at two levels. In the first level, a novel deep learning-based lip-reading regression model is employed. In the second level, lip-reading approximated clean-audio features are exploited, using an enhanced, visually-derived Wiener filter (EVWF), for the clean audio power spectrum estimation. Specifically, a stacked long-short-term memory (LSTM) based lip-reading regression model is designed for clean audio features estimation using only temporal visual features considering different number of prior visual frames. For clean speech spectrum estimation, a new filterbank-domain EVWF is formulated, which exploits estimated speech features. The proposed EVWF is compared with conventional Spectral Subtraction and Log-Minimum Mean-Square Error methods using both ideal AV mapping and LSTM driven AV mapping. The potential of the proposed speech enhancement framework is evaluated under different dynamic real-world commercially-motivated scenarios (e.g. cafe, public transport, pedestrian area) at different SNR levels (ranging from low to high SNRs) using benchmark Grid and ChiME3 corpora. For objective testing, perceptual evaluation of speech quality is used to evaluate the quality of restored speech. For subjective testing, the standard mean-opinion-score method is used with inferential statistics. Comparative simulation results demonstrate significant lip-reading and speech enhancement improvement in terms of both speech quality and speech intelligibility.
