Quantifying uncertainties for machine learning models is a critical step to reduce human verification effort by detecting predictions with low confidence. This paper proposes a method for uncertainty quantification (UQ) of table structure recognition (TSR). The proposed UQ method is built upon a mixture-of-expert approach termed Test-Time Augmentation (TTA). Our key idea is to enrich and diversify the table representations, to spotlight the cells with high recognition uncertainties. To evaluate the effectiveness, we proposed two heuristics to differentiate highly uncertain cells from normal cells, namely, masking and cell complexity quantification. Masking involves varying the pixel intensity to deem the detection uncertainty. Cell complexity quantification gauges the uncertainty of each cell by its topological relation with neighboring cells. The evaluation results based on standard benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method is effective in quantifying uncertainty in TSR models. To our best knowledge, this study is the first of its kind to enable UQ in TSR tasks. Our code and data are available at: https://github.com/lamps-lab/UQTTA.git.

Video dubbing aims to generate high-fidelity speech that is precisely temporally aligned with the visual content. Existing methods still suffer from limitations in speech naturalness and audio-visual synchronization, and are limited to monolingual settings. To address these challenges, we propose SyncVoice, a vision-augmented video dubbing framework built upon a pretrained text-to-speech (TTS) model. By fine-tuning the TTS model on audio-visual data, we achieve strong audiovisual consistency. We propose a Dual Speaker Encoder to effectively mitigate inter-language interference in cross-lingual speech synthesis and explore the application of video dubbing in video translation scenarios. Experimental results show that SyncVoice achieves high-fidelity speech generation with strong synchronization performance, demonstrating its potential in video dubbing tasks.
