• We are currently running a 2nd edition of the COG-MHEAR Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement Challenge (AVSEC-2): link We invite you to download the datasets and to take part in this new edition of the challenge.
  AVSEC sets the first benchmark in the field of audio-visual speech enhancement, providing a carefully designed dataset and scalable protocol for human listening evaluation of AV-SE systems. We expect the challenge to bring together interdisciplinary research teams to advance the field of AV-SE and to provide further insight about the scope and limitations of current AV-SE approaches.
