VoiceChat-TTS: A Low-Latency Continuous Speech Synthesis Model for Interactive Agents
Edresson Casanova, Jaehyeon Kim, Mariana Graterol Fuenmayor +17
Spoken dialogue is a natural form of human--computer interaction, yet most speech language models remain limited to turn-based operation and lack real-time adaptability, such as us…
Realizing record-high transverse thermoelectric figure of merit at room temperature in artificially tilted multilayers based on high power factor NiFe alloy
Yebin Lee, Fuyuki Ando, Takamasa Hirai +3
Transverse thermoelectric conversion using artificially tilted multilayers (ATMLs) offers a versatile device architecture that circumvents the structural limitations of conventiona…
MagpieTTS-LF: Inference-Time Long-Form Speech Generation Without Training on Long-Form data
Subhankar Ghosh, Jason Li, Paarth Neekhara +4
Neural Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems achieve remarkable quality on short utterances but long-form speech generation shows prosodic drift, speaker inconsistencies and sentence bounda…
Frame-Stacked Local Transformers For Efficient Multi-Codebook Speech Generation
Roy Fejgin, Paarth Neekhara, Xuesong Yang +6
Speech generation models based on large language models (LLMs) typically operate on discrete acoustic codes, which differ fundamentally from text tokens due to their multicodebook…
Align2Speak: Improving TTS for Low Resource Languages via ASR-Guided Online Preference Optimization
Shehzeen Hussain, Paarth Neekhara, Xuesong Yang +7
Developing high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) systems for low-resource languages is challenging due to the scarcity of paired text and speech data. In contrast, automatic speech rec…
HiFiTTS-2: A Large-Scale High Bandwidth Speech Dataset
Ryan Langman, Xuesong Yang, Paarth Neekhara +4
This paper introduces HiFiTTS-2, a large-scale speech dataset designed for high-bandwidth speech synthesis. The dataset is derived from LibriVox audiobooks, and contains approximat…
