The tool is called Watch, Listen, Attend and Spell (WLAS), and the paper describes it as a “network that learns to transcribe videos of mouth motion to characters.” Using videos from the BBC, the team trained the system with a dataset of more than 100,000 natural sentences.   Continue reading “Google DeepMind AI destroys human expert in lip reading competition”
