| Challenge: | Existing models for speech-to-speech translation suffer from distinct degradation in noisy environments and fail to translate visual speech. |
| Approach: | They propose a text-based audio-visual speech-to-speech translation model that integrates visual information with audio-only data to improve system robustness. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms models trained on audio-only corpus in two languages . it also improves with low-resource audio-visual data, compared with baselines . |
Visual-Aware Speech Recognition for Noisy Scenarios (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing audio-only models that use visual cues for transcription struggle in noisy environments. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that correlates visual cues with noise sources to improve transcription by filtering speech from noise and predicting noise labels in video inputs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves transcription by correlating noise sources to visual cues in audio inputs. |
AV-Dialog: Spoken Dialogue Models with Audio-Visual Input (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | AV-Dialog uses audio and visual cues to track the target speaker, predict turn-taking, and generate coherent responses. |
| Approach: | They propose a multimodal dialog framework that uses both audio and visual cues to track the target speaker. |
| Outcome: | AV-Dialog outperforms audio-only models under interference, reducing transcription errors, improving turn-taking prediction and human-rated dialogue quality. |
