LipNet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LipNet is a deep neural network for visual speech recognition. It was created by Yannis Assael, , and Nando de Freitas, researchers from the University of Oxford. The technique, outlined in a paper in November 2016,[1] is able to decode text from the movement of a speaker's mouth. Traditional visual speech recognition approaches separated the problem into two stages: designing or learning visual features, and prediction. LipNet was the first end-to-end sentence-level lipreading model that learned spatiotemporal visual features and a sequence model simultaneously.[2] Audio-visual speech recognition has enormous practical potential, with applications in improved hearing aids, medical applications, such as improving the recovery and wellbeing of critically ill patients,[3] and speech recognition in noisy environments,[4] such as Nvidia's autonomous vehicles.[5]
