Simple and Effective Unsupervised Speech Synthesis
Alexander H. Liu, Cheng-I Jeff Lai, Wei-Ning Hsu +3
We introduce the first unsupervised speech synthesis system based on a simple, yet effective recipe. The framework leverages recent work in unsupervised speech recognition as well…
On the Interplay Between Sparsity, Naturalness, Intelligibility, and Prosody in Speech Synthesis
Cheng-I Jeff Lai, Erica Cooper, Yang Zhang +8
Are end-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) models over-parametrized? To what extent can these models be pruned, and what happens to their synthesis capabilities? This work serves as a sta…
Cross-Modal Discrete Representation Learning
Alexander H. Liu, SouYoung Jin, Cheng-I Jeff Lai +3
Recent advances in representation learning have demonstrated an ability to represent information from different modalities such as video, text, and audio in a single high-level emb…
PARP: Prune, Adjust and Re-Prune for Self-Supervised Speech Recognition
Cheng-I Jeff Lai, Yang Zhang, Alexander H. Liu +7
Self-supervised speech representation learning (speech SSL) has demonstrated the benefit of scale in learning rich representations for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) with limit…
Non-Autoregressive Predictive Coding for Learning Speech Representations from Local Dependencies
Alexander H. Liu, Yu-An Chung, James Glass
Self-supervised speech representations have been shown to be effective in a variety of speech applications. However, existing representation learning methods generally rely on the…
Worse WER, but Better BLEU? Leveraging Word Embedding as Intermediate in Multitask End-to-End Speech Translation
Shun-Po Chuang, Tzu-Wei Sung, Alexander H. Liu +1
Speech translation (ST) aims to learn transformations from speech in the source language to the text in the target language. Previous works show that multitask learning improves th…
