Speech Meets ELF: Audio Conditional Continuous-Target Diffusion for Speech Recognition and Translation
Xuanchen Li, Tianrui Wang, Yuheng Lu +11
Speech-to-text (S2T) systems for recognition (ASR) and translation (S2TT) typically generate discrete text tokens. In contrast, continuous-target language modelling performs genera…
Expressive Prompting: Improving Emotion Intensity and Speaker Consistency in Zero-Shot TTS
Haoyu Wang, Chunyu Qiang, Tianrui Wang +6
Recent advancements in speech synthesis have enabled large language model (LLM)-based systems to perform zero-shot generation with controllable content, timbre, speaker identity, a…
MSR-HuBERT: Self-supervised Pre-training for Adaptation to Multiple Sampling Rates
Zikang Huang, Meng Ge, Tianrui Wang +4
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has advanced speech processing. However, existing speech SSL methods typically assume a single sampling rate and struggle with mixed-rate data due to…
Perturbation Self-Supervised Representations for Cross-Lingual Emotion TTS: Stage-Wise Modeling of Emotion and Speaker
Cheng Gong, Chunyu Qiang, Tianrui Wang +7
Cross-lingual emotional text-to-speech (TTS) aims to produce speech in one language that captures the emotion of a speaker from another language while maintaining the target voice'…
Pay More Attention To Audio: Mitigating Imbalance of Cross-Modal Attention in Large Audio Language Models
Junyu Wang, Ziyang Ma, Zhengding Luo +4
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) often suffer from audio-textual attention imbalance, prioritizing text over acoustic information, particularly in the multi-modal fusion layers…
ASDA: Audio Spectrogram Differential Attention Mechanism for Self-Supervised Representation Learning
Junyu Wang, Tianrui Wang, Meng Ge +2
In recent advancements in audio self-supervised representation learning, the standard Transformer architecture has emerged as the predominant approach, yet its attention mechanism…
