EmotionRankCLAP: Bridging Natural Language Speaking Styles and Ordinal Speech Emotion via Rank-N-Contrast

Shreeram Suresh Chandra, Lucas Goncalves, Junchen Lu +2

Current emotion-based contrastive language-audio pretraining (CLAP) methods typically learn by naïvely aligning audio samples with corresponding text prompts. Consequently, this ap…

Towards Emotionally Consistent Text-Based Speech Editing: Introducing EmoCorrector and The ECD-TSE Dataset

Rui Liu, Pu Gao, Jiatian Xi +3

Text-based speech editing (TSE) modifies speech using only text, eliminating re-recording. However, existing TSE methods, mainly focus on the content accuracy and acoustic consiste…
