• Authors: Evgeniy Egorov, Vasily Kostyumov, Mikhail Konyk, Sergey Kolesnikov
• Abstract summary: Lipreading aims to identify the speech content from videos by analyzing the visual deformations of lips and nearby areas. One of the significant obstacles for research in this field is the lack of proper datasets for a wide variety of languages. We introduce a naturally distributed benchmark for lipreading in Russian language, named LRWR, which contains 235 classes and 135 speakers.

• Abstract: Lipreading, also known as visual speech recognition, aims to identify the speech content from videos by analyzing the visual deformations of lips and nearby areas. One of the significant obstacles for research in this field is the lack of proper datasets for a wide variety of languages: so far, these methods have been focused only on English or Chinese. In this paper, we introduce a naturally distributed large-scale benchmark for lipreading in Russian language, named LRWR, which contains 235 classes and 135 speakers. We provide a detailed description of the dataset collection pipeline and dataset statistics. We also present a comprehensive comparison of the current popular lipreading methods on LRWR and conduct a detailed analysis of their performance. The results demonstrate the differences between the benchmarked languages and provide several promising directions for lipreading models finetuning. Thanks to our findings, we also achieved new state-of-the-art results on the LRW benchmark.

  This study systematically evaluates translation bias and the effectiveness of Large Language Models for cross-lingual claim verification. We investigate two distinct translation methods: pre-translation and self-translation. Our findings reveal that low-resource languages exhibit significantly lower accuracy in direct inference due to underrepresentation.

This survey delves into an important attribute of these datasets: the dialect of a language. Motivated by the performance degradation of NLP models for dialectic datasets and its implications for the equity of language technologies, we survey past research in NLP for dialects in terms of datasets, and approaches.

  We analyze several architectures and optimizations on the underrepresented, short-scale Romanian language dataset called Wild LRRo. We obtain state-of-the-art results using our proposed method, namely cross-lingual domain adaptation and unlabeled videos. We also assess the performance of adding a layer inspired by the neural inhibition mechanism.

  Temporal Sentence Grounding in Videos (TSGV) aims to ground a natural language sentence in an untrimmed video. Recent studies have found that current benchmark datasets may have obvious moment annotation biases. We introduce a new evaluation metric "dR@n,IoU@m" that discounts the basic recall scores to alleviate the inflating evaluation caused by biased datasets.

  We present the dataset GLips (German Lips) consisting of 250,000 publicly available videos of the faces of speakers of the Hessian Parliament. The format is similar to that of the English language LRW (Lip Reading in the Wild) dataset, with each video encoding one word of interest in a context of 1.16 seconds duration. By training a deep neural network, we investigate whether lip reading has language-independent features, so that datasets of different languages can be used to improve lip reading models.
