arXiv:2609.10394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) benchmarks, like LRS3, rely heavily on clean, scripted and rehearsed speech. They fail to reflect the...
The paper introduces Cue2Narrate, a two‑stage pipeline that jointly predicts what visual events to narrate and when to insert the narration in long, untrimmed movie clips. It uses a dual‑head audio‑visual localizer to identify visual cue and narration windows, followed by a LoRA‑adapted vision‑language model that generates concise audio descriptions, trained with a Description Ranking Loss. The authors also present the LongLSMDC benchmark, comprising up to 8‑minute clips, and show that Cue2Narrate outperforms video‑only and audio‑only baselines by 5–12 points in average mAP and improves AD generation over fine‑tuned base VLMs.
Audio Description (AD) provides spoken narration of visual events during dialogue gaps, making movies accessible to visually impaired audiences. The problem requires determining both what (which visua...
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.
