Face-voice Association in Multilingual Environments (FAME) Challenge 2024 Evaluation Plan
This challenge addresses face-voice association for multimodal systems in real-world multilingual environments, but it appears incremental as it focuses on a specific scenario without claiming major breakthroughs.
The FAME Challenge 2024 tackles the problem of associating faces and voices in multilingual scenarios, using the MAV-Celeb dataset to explore this condition inspired by the prevalence of bilingual populations.
The advancements of technology have led to the use of multimodal systems in various real-world applications. Among them, the audio-visual systems are one of the widely used multimodal systems. In the recent years, associating face and voice of a person has gained attention due to presence of unique correlation between them. The Face-voice Association in Multilingual Environments (FAME) Challenge 2024 focuses on exploring face-voice association under a unique condition of multilingual scenario. This condition is inspired from the fact that half of the world's population is bilingual and most often people communicate under multilingual scenario. The challenge uses a dataset namely, Multilingual Audio-Visual (MAV-Celeb) for exploring face-voice association in multilingual environments. This report provides the details of the challenge, dataset, baselines and task details for the FAME Challenge.
