FlexiSLM: A Spoken Language Model with Dynamic and Controllable Frame Rates
Jiaqi Li, Chaoren Wang, Xiaohai Tian +9
Spoken language models (SLMs) extend LLMs to speech input and output. Existing SLMs represent speech at fixed frame rates (e.g., 25 or 12.5 Hz), ignoring the time-varying informati…
Aliasing-Free Neural Audio Synthesis
Yicheng Gu, Junan Zhang, Chaoren Wang +3
In neural audio synthesis, neural vocoders and codecs are models that reconstruct waveforms from acoustic and latent representations, which are essential to the resulting audio qua…
MimicLM: Zero-Shot Voice Imitation through Autoregressive Modeling of Pseudo-Parallel Speech Corpora
Tao Feng, Yuxiang Wang, Yuancheng Wang +5
Voice imitation aims to transform source speech to match a reference speaker's timbre and speaking style while preserving linguistic content. A straightforward approach is to train…
Vevo2: A Unified and Controllable Framework for Speech and Singing Voice Generation
Xueyao Zhang, Junan Zhang, Yuancheng Wang +5
Controllable human voice generation, particularly for expressive domains like singing, remains a significant challenge. This paper introduces Vevo2, a unified framework for control…
SpeechJudge: Towards Human-Level Judgment for Speech Naturalness
Xueyao Zhang, Chaoren Wang, Huan Liao +8
Aligning large generative models with human feedback is a critical challenge. In speech synthesis, this is particularly pronounced due to the lack of a large-scale human preference…
SP-MCQA: Evaluating Intelligibility of TTS Beyond the Word Level
Hitomi Jin Ling Tee, Chaoren Wang, Zijie Zhang +1
The evaluation of intelligibility for TTS has reached a bottleneck, as existing assessments heavily rely on word-by-word accuracy metrics such as WER, which fail to capture the com…
