Lost in Phonation: Voice Quality Variation as an Evaluation Dimension for Speech Foundation Models
Harm Lameris, Shree Harsha Bokkahalli Satish, Joakim Gustafson +2
Recent advances in Speech Foundation Models (SFMs) enable direct processing of raw audio, allowing models to respond to subtle paralinguistic variation. However, how these models i…

Shivam Mehta, Harm Lameris, Rajiv Punmiya +3
Converting input symbols to output audio in TTS requires modelling the durations of speech sounds. Leading non-autoregressive (NAR) TTS models treat duration modelling as a regress…
