- 适合做视听语音识别纠错的开发者和研究者参考
与传统自动语音识别不同,视听语音识别(AVSR)同时利用音频和视觉信号进行转录。近期研究表明,大型语言模型(LLM)可通过生成式纠错(GER)从ASR的N-best候选中预测最优转录。然而,这些模型无法同时理解音视频信息,难以直接应用于AVSR。本文提出一种新的AVSR生成式纠错框架——AVGER,遵循“重听重看”理念:首先使用强健的AVSR系统获取音频和视觉信号的N-best候选,再通过基于Q-former的多模态同步编码器再次读取音视频信息,分别生成可被LLM理解的压缩表示。随后,将音视频压缩表示与N-best候选组合成跨模态提示,引导LLM生成最佳转录。此外,我们还设计了多层级一致性约束训练准则,包括逻辑层、语句层和表示层,以提升纠错准确率并增强表示的可解释性。在LRS3数据集上的实验表明,所提方法显著优于当前主流AVSR系统,词错误率(WER)降低24%。代码与模型见:https://github.com/CircleRedRain/AVGER。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Unlike traditional Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) takes audio and visual signals simultaneously to infer the transcription. Recent studies have shown that Large Language Models (LLMs) can be effectively used for Generative Error Correction (GER) in ASR by predicting the best transcription from ASR-generated N-best hypotheses. However, these LLMs lack the ability to simultaneously understand audio and visual, making the GER approach challenging to apply in AVSR. In this work, we propose a novel GER paradigm for AVSR, termed AVGER, that follows the concept of ``listening and seeing again''. Specifically, we first use the powerful AVSR system to read the audio and visual signals to get the N-Best hypotheses, and then use the Q-former-based Multimodal Synchronous Encoder to read the audio and visual information again and convert them into an audio and video compression representation respectively that can be understood by LLM. Afterward, the audio-visual compression representation and the N-Best hypothesis together constitute a Cross-modal Prompt to guide the LLM in producing the best transcription. In addition, we also proposed a Multi-Level Consistency Constraint training criterion, including logits-level, utterance-level and representations-level, to improve the correction accuracy while enhancing the interpretability of audio and visual compression representations. The experimental results on the LRS3 dataset show that our method outperforms current mainstream AVSR systems. The proposed AVGER can reduce the Word Error Rate (WER) by 24% compared to them.
