• Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel approach to the audio-visual video parsing (AVVP) task that demarcates events from a video separately for audio and visual modalities. The proposed parsing approach simultaneously detects the temporal boundaries in terms of start and end times of such events. We show how AVVP can benefit from the following techniques geared towards effective cross-modal learning: (i) adversarial training and skip connections (ii) global context aware attention and, (iii) self-supervised pretraining using an audio-video grounding objective to obtain cross-modal audio-video representations. We present extensive experimental evaluations on the Look, Listen, and Parse (LLP) dataset and show that we outperform the state-of-the-art Hybrid Attention Network (HAN) on all five metrics proposed for AVVP. We also present several ablations to validate the effect of pretraining, global attention and adversarial training.

  Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is the process of automatically determining whether a person is speaking and identifying the timing of their speech. We introduce a novel approach leveraging Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) models. Our approach outperforms several audio-visual methods despite its simplicity, and without requiring pre-training on extensive audio-visual datasets.

  Weakly supervised audio-visual video parsing methods aim to detect audible-only, visible-only, and audible-visible events using only video-level labels. We propose CoLeaF, a novel learning framework that optimize the integration of cross-modal context in the embedding space. Our experiments demonstrate that CoLeaF significantly improves the state-of-the-art results by an average of 1.9% and 2.4% F-score on the datasets.

  We propose two novel techniques to improve audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) under a pre-training and fine-tuning training framework. First, we explore the correlation between lip shapes and syllable-level subword units in Mandarin to establish good frame-level syllable boundaries from lip shapes. Next, we propose an audio-guided cross-modal fusion encoder (CMFE) neural network to utilize main training parameters for multiple cross-modal attention layers.
