• Abstract summary: The aim of this paper is to answer two closely related questions: "Is face-voice association language independent?" and "Can a speaker be recognised of the spoken language?" To answer them, we collected a Multilingual Audio-Visual dataset, containing human speech clips of $154$ identities with $3$ language annotations extracted from various videos uploaded online.

• Abstract: Recent years have seen a surge in finding association between faces and voices within a cross-modal biometric application along with speaker recognition. Inspired from this, we introduce a challenging task in establishing association between faces and voices across multiple languages spoken by the same set of persons. The aim of this paper is to answer two closely related questions: "Is face-voice association language independent?" and "Can a speaker be recognised irrespective of the spoken language?". These two questions are very important to understand effectiveness and to boost development of multilingual biometric systems. To answer them, we collected a Multilingual Audio-Visual dataset, containing human speech clips of $154$ identities with $3$ language annotations extracted from various videos uploaded online. Extensive experiments on the three splits of the proposed dataset have been performed to investigate and answer these novel research questions that clearly point out the relevance of the multilingual problem.

  MulliVC is a novel voice conversion system that only converts timbre and keeps original content and source language prosody without multi-lingual paired data. Both objective and subjective results indicate that MulliVC significantly surpasses other methods in both monolingual and cross-lingual contexts.

  Cross-lingual self-supervised visual representation learning has been a growing research topic in the last few years. We use the recently-proposed Raw Audio-Visual Speechs (RAVEn) framework to pre-train an audio-visual model with unlabelled data. Our experiments show that: (1) multi-lingual models with more data outperform monolingual ones, but, when keeping the amount of data fixed, monolingual models tend to reach better performance.
