Interpretable Convolutional SyncNet
Because videos in the wild can be out of sync for various reasons, a sync-net is used to bring the video back into sync for tasks that require synchronized videos. Previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) sync-nets use InfoNCE loss, rely on the transformer architecture, or both. Unfortunately, the former makes the model's output difficult to interpret, and the latter is unfriendly with large images, thus limiting the usefulness of sync-nets. In this work, we train a convolutional sync-net using the balanced BCE loss (BBCE), a loss inspired by the binary cross entropy (BCE) and the InfoNCE losses. In contrast to the InfoNCE loss, the BBCE loss does not require complicated sampling schemes. Our model can better handle larger images, and its output can be given a probabilistic interpretation. The probabilistic interpretation allows us to define metrics such as probability at offset and offscreen ratio to evaluate the sync quality of audio-visual (AV) speech datasets. Furthermore, our model achieves SOTA accuracy of $96.5\%$ on the LRS2 dataset and $93.8\%$ on the LRS3 dataset.
