NAVIR is an end‑to‑end audio‑visual speech recognition system designed for the BrainChip Akida neuromorphic processor, which only supports sequential 2‑D convolutions. The architecture separates spatial and temporal encoding into three AkidaNet modules—per‑frame visual, temporal video, and spectrogram audio encoders—fused by a lightweight predictor and decoded with constrained beam search. Trained with CTC on noise‑augmented audio and fine‑tuned via quantization‑aware training, the quantized model achieves 14.0% WER on GRID’s unseen‑speaker split and 3.3% on overlapped‑speaker split, outperforming audio‑only baselines, and delivers 98.6% command accuracy at 1.5% WER on an industrial‑command corpus, while offering a 13‑fold energy advantage over conventional ANNs and roughly 5‑fold lower energy per inference than a Raspberry Pi CPU.

Watch Your Speech (WYS) is a video‑to‑speech synthesis framework that uses textual conditioning to resolve the one‑to‑many mapping problem inherent in silent talking‑face videos. It fuses textual context with video sequences via an attention‑based embedding module and employs a conditional flow matching objective to produce high‑fidelity, phonemically accurate speech. Experiments on LRS2 and LRS3 show that WYS sets new state‑of‑the‑art results in audio‑visual synchronization while maintaining competitive word‑error rates, and subjective tests confirm near‑human naturalness.

The paper introduces Query-Adaptive Recurrent Tokenizer (QART), a backbone-agnostic module that tailors visual representations to a text query and dynamically adjusts the token budget. QART starts from frozen encoder features and iteratively adds tokens until the query-relevant visual information is captured with sufficient fidelity, guided by reconstruction quality. Experiments on Visual7W, VQAv2, CORE, and PODS show that QART achieves high accuracy while using only about 29 visual tokens, a 20–25× reduction compared to dense vision-language models, and outperforms existing methods such as SteerViT on certain benchmarks.
