USM-SCD: Multilingual Speaker Change Detection Based on Large Pretrained Foundation Models
Guanlong Zhao, Yongqiang Wang, Jason Pelecanos +5
We introduce a multilingual speaker change detection model (USM-SCD) that can simultaneously detect speaker turns and perform ASR for 96 languages. This model is adapted from a spe…
Speech-to-Speech Translation with Discrete-Unit-Based Style Transfer
Yongqi Wang, Jionghao Bai, Rongjie Huang +3
Direct speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) with discrete self-supervised representations has achieved remarkable accuracy, but is unable to preserve the speaker timbre of the sourc…
Make-A-Voice: Unified Voice Synthesis With Discrete Representation
Rongjie Huang, Chunlei Zhang, Yongqi Wang +7
Various applications of voice synthesis have been developed independently despite the fact that they generate "voice" as output in common. In addition, the majority of voice synthe…
Connecting Multi-modal Contrastive Representations
Zehan Wang, Yang Zhao, Xize Cheng +8
Multi-modal Contrastive Representation learning aims to encode different modalities into a semantically aligned shared space. This paradigm shows remarkable generalization ability…
The spectral radius of a square matrix can be approximated by its "weighted" spectral norm
Yongqiang Wang
In distributed optimization or Nash-equilibrium seeking over directed graphs, it is crucial to find a matrix norm under which the disagreement of individual agents' states contract…
