Plug-and-Play Co-Occurring Face Attention for Robust Audio-Visual Speaker Extraction

Zexu Pan, Shengkui Zhao, Tingting Wang +4

Audio-visual speaker extraction isolates a target speaker's speech from a mixture speech signal conditioned on a visual cue, typically using the target speaker's face recording. Ho…
