Listen, Critique, and Refine: RL-Based Self-Refinement for Instruction-Following Speech Synthesis
Chee-En Yu, Yi-Cheng Lin, Sung-Feng Huang +4
Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) can follow diverse instructions to synthesize speech in specified styles. However, complex instructions that require simultaneous control over p…
Fréchet Distance Loss on Speech Representations for Text-to-Speech Synthesis
Ho-Lam Chung, Kuan-Po Huang, Bo-Ru Lu +1
Few-step diffusion and flow-matching text-to-speech (TTS) models are usually trained with local objectives, such as conditional flow matching, reconstruction, and stop prediction.…
FdAudio: MeanFlow-Anchored Fréchet-Distance Post-Training for One-Step Text-to-Audio Generation
Kuan-Po Huang, Bo-Ru Lu, Ho-Lam Chung +2
While recent few-step sampling text-to-audio generation models like MeanAudio substantially accelerate generation by modeling average velocities, their strict one-step generation q…
Escaping the Procrustean Bed: Groupwise Orthogonal Connectors for Audio-Language Models
Ho-Lam Chung, Ke-Han Lu, Yi-Cheng Lin +3
Audio-language models compress a speech encoder's output through a Querying Transformer (Q-Former) connector before feeding it to a large language model. We identify two failures i…
Context-Aware ASR for Mandarin Technical Lectures
Ho-Lam Chung, Yiming Chen, Hung-yi Lee
Technical lectures mix Mandarin speech with English technical terms. These terms carry the core meaning of the lecture, yet they occupy few characters. Character error rate (CER) t…
LLM-Codec: Neural Audio Codec Meets Language Model Objectives
Ho-Lam Chung, Yiming Chen, Hung-yi Lee
Neural audio codecs are widely used as tokenizers for spoken language models, but they are optimized for waveform reconstruction rather than autoregressive prediction. This mismatc…
TW-Sound580K: A Regional Audio-Text Dataset with Verification-Guided Curation for Localized Audio-Language Modeling
Hao-Hui Xie, Ho-Lam Chung, Yi-Cheng Lin +4
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) typically struggle with localized dialectal prosody due to the scarcity of specialized corpora. We present TW-Sound580K, a Taiwanese audio-text…
