ISCSLP 2026 CoT-TTS Challenge: Chain-of-Thought Reasoning for Context-Aware Text-to-Speech
Wei Xue, Junlan Feng, Shilei Zhang +9
Recent advances in text-to-speech (TTS) have greatly improved speech naturalness, speaker similarity, and controllability. However, most existing controllable TTS systems still rel…
NVV-SuperBench: Beyond Words, Beyond Quality-Benchmarking Nonverbal Vocalizations in Speech Generation
Liumeng Xue, Weizhen Bian, Jiahao Pan +9
Nonverbal vocalizations (NVVs), such as laughing, sighing, and sobbing, are essential for human-like speech, yet standardized evaluation rarely jointly assesses whether systems gen…
MeanFlowSE: One-Step Generative Speech Enhancement via MeanFlow
Yike Zhu, Boyi Kang, Ziqian Wang +6
Speech enhancement (SE) recovers clean speech from noisy signals and is vital for applications such as telecommunications and automatic speech recognition (ASR). While generative a…
UniFlow: Unifying Speech Front-End Tasks via Continuous Generative Modeling
Ziqian Wang, Zikai Liu, Yike Zhu +6
Generative modeling has recently achieved remarkable success across image, video, and audio domains, demonstrating powerful capabilities for unified representation learning. Yet sp…
EchoFree: Towards Ultra Lightweight and Efficient Neural Acoustic Echo Cancellation
Xingchen Li, Boyi Kang, Ziqian Wang +4
In recent years, neural networks (NNs) have been widely applied in acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). However, existing approaches struggle to meet real-world low-latency and comput…
LLaSE-G1: Incentivizing Generalization Capability for LLaMA-based Speech Enhancement
Boyi Kang, Xinfa Zhu, Zihan Zhang +10
Recent advancements in language models (LMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in semantic understanding and contextual modeling, which have flourished in generative speech enh…
