Interlingual subtitling, which translates subtitles of visual media into a target language, is essential for entertainment localization but has not yet been explored in machine translation. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly advanced the general capabilities of machine translation, the distinctive characteristics of subtitle texts pose persistent challenges in interlingual subtitling, particularly regarding semantic coherence, pronoun and terminology translation, and translation expressiveness. To address these issues, we present Hermes, an LLM-based automated subtitling framework. Hermes integrates three modules: Speaker Diarization, Terminology Identification, and Expressiveness Enhancement, which effectively tackle the above challenges. Experiments demonstrate that Hermes achieves state-of-the-art diarization performance and generates expressive, contextually coherent translations, thereby advancing research in interlingual subtitling.

Uncertainty in gaze estimation manifests in two aspects: 1) low-quality images caused by occlusion, blurriness, inconsistent eye movements, or even non-face images; 2) uncorrected labels resulting from the misalignment between the labeled and actual gaze points during the annotation process. Allowing these uncertainties to participate in training hinders the improvement of gaze estimation. To tackle these challenges, in this paper, we propose an effective solution, named Suppressing Uncertainty in Gaze Estimation (SUGE), which introduces a novel triplet-label consistency measurement to estimate and reduce the uncertainties. Specifically, for each training sample, we propose to estimate a novel ``neighboring label'' calculated by a linearly weighted projection from the neighbors to capture the similarity relationship between image features and their corresponding labels, which can be incorporated with the predicted pseudo label and ground-truth label for uncertainty estimation. By modeling such triplet-label consistency, we can largely reduce the negative effects of unqualified images and wrong labels through our designed sample weighting and label correction strategies. Experimental results on the gaze estimation benchmarks indicate that our proposed SUGE achieves state-of-the-art performance.
