Imitation Learning for Elder-Facing Speech Synthesis
Dongrui Han, Weidong Chen, Jiawen Kang +3
Recent advances in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis have achieved highly natural and expressive speech generation. However, these systems are designed for general adults and overlook…
Covo-Audio Technical Report
Wenfu Wang, Chenxing Li, Liqiang Zhang +23
In this work, we present Covo-Audio, a 7B-parameter end-to-end LALM that directly processes continuous audio inputs and generates audio outputs within a single unified architecture…
Multi-Channel Speech Enhancement for Cocktail Party Speech Emotion Recognition
Youjun Chen, Guinan Li, Mengzhe Geng +9
This paper highlights the critical importance of multi-channel speech enhancement (MCSE) for speech emotion recognition (ER) in cocktail party scenarios. A multi-channel speech der…
On-the-fly Routing for Zero-shot MoE Speaker Adaptation of Speech Foundation Models for Dysarthric Speech Recognition
Shujie HU, Xurong Xie, Mengzhe Geng +8
This paper proposes a novel MoE-based speaker adaptation framework for foundation models based dysarthric speech recognition. This approach enables zero-shot adaptation and real-ti…
Towards One-bit ASR: Extremely Low-bit Conformer Quantization Using Co-training and Stochastic Precision
Zhaoqing Li, Haoning Xu, Zengrui Jin +7
Model compression has become an emerging need as the sizes of modern speech systems rapidly increase. In this paper, we study model weight quantization, which directly reduces the…
