Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for audio-visual speech separation. A method includes: obtaining, for each frame in a stream of frames from a video in which faces of one or more speakers have been detected, a respective per-frame face embedding of the face of each speaker; processing, for each speaker, the per-frame face embeddings of the face of the speaker to generate visual features for the face of the speaker; obtaining a spectrogram of an audio soundtrack for the video; processing the spectrogram to generate an audio embedding for the audio soundtrack; combining the visual features for the one or more speakers and the audio embedding for the audio soundtrack to generate an audio-visual embedding for the video; determining a respective spectrogram mask for each of the one or more speakers; and determining a respective isolated speech spectrogram for each speaker.
