• Title: VisageSynTalk: Unseen Speaker Video-to-Speech Synthesis via Speech-Visage Feature Selection
• Authors: Joanna Hong, Minsu Kim, Yong Man Ro
• Abstract summary: Recent studies have shown impressive performance on synthesizing speech from silent talking face videos. We introduce speech-visage selection module that separates the speech content and the speaker identity from the visual features of the input video. Proposed framework brings the advantage of synthesizing the speech containing the right content even when the silent talking face video of an unseen subject is given.

• Abstract: The goal of this work is to reconstruct speech from a silent talking face video. Recent studies have shown impressive performance on synthesizing speech from silent talking face videos. However, they have not explicitly considered on varying identity characteristics of different speakers, which place a challenge in the video-to-speech synthesis, and this becomes more critical in unseen-speaker settings. Distinct from the previous methods, our approach is to separate the speech content and the visage-style from a given silent talking face video. By guiding the model to independently focus on modeling the two representations, we can obtain the speech of high intelligibility from the model even when the input video of an unseen subject is given. To this end, we introduce speech-visage selection module that separates the speech content and the speaker identity from the visual features of the input video. The disentangled representations are jointly incorporated to synthesize speech through visage-style based synthesizer which generates speech by coating the visage-styles while maintaining the speech content. Thus, the proposed framework brings the advantage of synthesizing the speech containing the right content even when the silent talking face video of an unseen subject is given. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework on the GRID, TCD-TIMIT volunteer, and LRW datasets. The synthesized speech can be heard in supplementary materials.

  We present a vision-guided speaker embedding extractor using a self-supervised pre-trained model and prompt tuning technique. We further develop a diffusion-based video-to-speech synthesis model, so called DiffV2S, conditioned on those speaker embeddings and the visual representation extracted from the input video. Our experimental results show that DiffV2S achieves the state-of-the-art performance compared to the previous video-to-speech synthesis technique.

  This paper focuses on the problem of audio-visual speech inpainting, which is the task of synthesizing the speech in a corrupted audio segment. We present an audio-visual transformer-based deep learning model that leverages visual cues that provide information about the content of the corrupted audio. We also show how visual features extracted with AV-HuBERT, a large audio-visual transformer for speech recognition, are suitable for synthesizing speech.

  Given a piece of text, a video clip and a reference audio, the movie dubbing (also known as visual voice clone V2C) task aims to generate speeches that match the speaker's emotion presented in the video using the desired speaker voice as reference. We propose a novel movie dubbing architecture to tackle these problems via hierarchical prosody modelling, which bridges the visual information to corresponding speech prosody from three aspects: lip, face, and scene.
