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…

YuE: Scaling Open Foundation Models for Long-Form Music Generation

Ruibin Yuan, Hanfeng Lin, Shuyue Guo +55

We tackle the task of long-form music generation--particularly the challenging \textbf{lyrics-to-song} problem--by introducing YuE, a family of open foundation models based on the…

Accelerating Diffusion-based Text-to-Speech Model Training with Dual Modality Alignment

Jeongsoo Choi, Zhikang Niu, Ji-Hoon Kim +3

The goal of this paper is to optimize the training process of diffusion-based text-to-speech models. While recent studies have achieved remarkable advancements, their training dema…

F5-TTS: A Fairytaler that Fakes Fluent and Faithful Speech with Flow Matching

Yushen Chen, Zhikang Niu, Ziyang Ma +5

This paper introduces F5-TTS, a fully non-autoregressive text-to-speech system based on flow matching with Diffusion Transformer (DiT). Without requiring complex designs such as du…
