A reporitory for lipreading on the lipreading in the wild (LRW) dataset using the SpotFast Networks (ICONIP 2020). The SpotFast Networks utilize temporal window, two input pathways with lateral connections and two memory-augmented transformers to recognize word-level lip movements. The test accuracy is 84.4%. For comparisons with other methods, please consider PapersWithCode.
The models (most in this task, at the very least) are sensitive to random seeds, as far as I feel. Mixing random seeds between epoch cycles (like every 5 epochs in CosineAnnealing, setting T_max=5) improves the results surprisingly (if epoch % 5 == 0: set_seed(seeds[s_i+1]) s_i += 1 etc. I used my apartment numbers as seeds.). Since this task datasets are mostly large scale and there is an affiliation wall on this task, I personally do not see anyone doing any insightful example/model mining on this issue. It takes lots of computational power also even if we may filter or minimize the dataset (500k short clips LRW take days to train, even on small models using a P5000). Most submissions in the PapersWithCode are currently (@2024) around almost 90% for single model performances without explicit word boundaries.
