- Publishing open-source academic video recordings is an emergent and prevalent approach to sharing knowledge online. Such videos carry rich multimodal information including speech, the facial and body movements of the speakers, as well as the texts and pictures in the slides and possibly even the papers. Although multiple academic video datasets have been constructed and released, few of them support both multimodal content recognition and understanding tasks, which is partially due to the lack of high-quality human annotations.
-
-
- In this paper, we propose a novel multimodal, multigenre, and multipurpose audio-visual academic lecture dataset (🎓M3AV), which has almost 367 hours of videos from five sources covering computer science, mathematics, and medical and biology topics. With high-quality human annotations of the slide text and spoken words, in particular high-valued name entities, the dataset can be used for multiple audio-visual recognition and understanding tasks.
-
-
- Evaluations performed on contextual speech recognition, speech synthesis, and slide and script generation tasks demonstrate that the diversity of 🎓M3AV makes it a challenging dataset.

- 🎓M3AV dataset contains the most complete and human-annotated resources of slide, speech, and paper, thus supporting not only the recognition of multimodal content but also the comprehension of high-level academic knowledge. At the same time, the size of our dataset is also relatively rich while accessible.

- (1) The open-source models (LLaMA-2, InstructBLIP) show a limited performance improvement when raised from 7B to 13B. Their performances are far from the closed-source models (GPT-4 and GPT-4V). We believe that high-quality pre-training data, e.g., informative corpus and visual QA data which encapsulate multimodal information, is required to enhance their SSG performances beyond just boosting the model size.
- (2) The latest LMM (GPT-4V) has already exceeded the cascaded pipeline composed of unimodal expert models. It suggests that the LMM not only maintains the ability to process textual information but also possesses multi-sensory capabilities, such as the perception and recognition of the slides.

- We release the Multimodal, Multigenre, and Multipurpose Audio-Visual Dataset with Academic Lectures (🎓M3AV) covering a range of academic fields. This dataset contains manually annotated speech transcriptions, slide text, and additional extracted papers, providing a basis for evaluating AI models for recognizing multimodal content and understanding academic knowledge. We detail the creation pipeline and conduct various analyses of the dataset. Furthermore, we build benchmarks and conduct experiments around the dataset. We find there is still large room for existing models to improve perceptions and understanding of academic lecture videos.
