• Authors: Xiaoyu Wang, Xiangyu Kong, Xiulian Peng, Yan Lu
• Abstract summary: We propose a multi-modal multi-correlation learning framework targeting at the task of audio-visual speech separation. We define two key correlations which are: (1) identity correlation (between timbre and facial attributes); (2) phonetic correlation. For implementation, contrastive learning or adversarial training approach is applied to maximize these two correlations.

• Abstract: In this paper we propose a multi-modal multi-correlation learning framework targeting at the task of audio-visual speech separation. Although previous efforts have been extensively put on combining audio and visual modalities, most of them solely adopt a straightforward concatenation of audio and visual features. To exploit the real useful information behind these two modalities, we define two key correlations which are: (1) identity correlation (between timbre and facial attributes); (2) phonetic correlation (between phoneme and lip motion). These two correlations together comprise the complete information, which shows a certain superiority in separating target speaker's voice especially in some hard cases, such as the same gender or similar content. For implementation, contrastive learning or adversarial training approach is applied to maximize these two correlations. Both of them work well, while adversarial training shows its advantage by avoiding some limitations of contrastive learning. Compared with previous research, our solution demonstrates clear improvement on experimental metrics without additional complexity. Further analysis reveals the validity of the proposed architecture and its good potential for future extension.

  We investigate the effects of multiple modalities on recognition accuracy on both synthetic and real-world datasets. Images as a supplementary modality for speech recognition provide the greatest benefit at moderate noise levels. Performance improves on both synthetic and real-world datasets when the most relevant visual information is filtered as a preprocessing step.

  This paper introduces a novel framework within an unsupervised setting for learning voice-face associations.
