A Novel Interpretable and Generalizable Re-synchronization Model for Cued Speech based on a Multi-Cuer Corpus
Lufei Gao, Shan Huang, Li Liu
Cued Speech (CS) is a multi-modal visual coding system combining lip reading with several hand cues at the phonetic level to make the spoken language visible to the hearing impaired. Previous studies solved asynchronous problems between lip and hand movements by a cuer\footnote{The people who perform Cued Speech are called the cuer.}-dependent piecewise linear model for English and French CS. In this work, we innovatively propose three statistical measure on the lip stream to build an interpretable and generalizable model for predicting hand preceding time (HPT), which achieves cuer-independent by a proper normalization. Particularly, we build the first Mandarin CS corpus comprising annotated videos from five speakers including three normal and two hearing impaired individuals. Consequently, we show that the hand preceding phenomenon exists in Mandarin CS production with significant differences between normal and hearing impaired people. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model outperforms the baseline and the previous state-of-the-art methods.
