• Abstract: Conventional audio-visual methods for speaker verification rely on large amounts of labeled data and separate modality-specific architectures, which is computationally expensive, limiting their scalability. To address these problems, we propose a self-supervised learning framework based on contrastive learning with asymmetric masking and masked data modeling to obtain robust audiovisual feature representations. In particular, we employ a unified framework for self-supervised audiovisual speaker verification using a single shared backbone for audio and visual inputs, leveraging the versatility of vision transformers. The proposed unified framework can handle audio, visual, or audiovisual inputs using a single shared vision transformer backbone during training and testing while being computationally efficient and robust to missing modalities. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves competitive performance without labeled data while reducing computational costs compared to traditional approaches.

  We propose two novel techniques to improve audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) under a pre-training and fine-tuning training framework.

Next, we propose an audio-guided cross-modal fusion encoder (CMFE) neural network to utilize main training parameters for multiple cross-modal attention layers.
