Semantic-VAE: Semantic-Alignment Latent Representation for Better Speech Synthesis
Zhikang Niu, Shujie Hu, Jeongsoo Choi +8
Mel-spectrograms have been widely used in zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS); their inherent redundancy leads to inefficiency in text-speech alignment. Compact VAE-based latent represe…

Cross-Lingual F5-TTS: Towards Language-Agnostic Voice Cloning and Speech Synthesis
Qingyu Liu, Yushen Chen, Zhikang Niu +7
Flow-matching-based text-to-speech (TTS) models have shown high-quality speech synthesis. However, most current flow-matching-based TTS models still rely on reference transcripts c…
