LACE: Layer-Wise Compression for Dynamic Frame Rate Codecs
Thanapat Trachu, Samuele Cornell, William Chen +1
Neural audio codecs are a key component in speech language modeling. However, their high frame rates lead to long sequence lengths, increasing computational costs. Dynamic frame ra…
Accent Vector: Controllable Accent Manipulation for Multilingual TTS Without Accented Data
Thanathai Lertpetchpun, Thanapat Trachu, Jihwan Lee +3
Accent is an integral part of society, reflecting multiculturalism and shaping how individuals express identity. The majority of English speakers are non-native (L2) speakers, yet…
Speech Generation Speaker Poisoning: Capability Erasure in Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech
Thanapat Trachu, Thanathai Lertpetchpun, Sai Praneeth Karimireddy +1
Recent zero-shot Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems can clone previously unseen voices from only a few seconds of audio. We formulate Speech Generation Speaker Poisoning (SGSP), a task t…
Quantifying Speaker Embedding Phonological Rule Interactions in Accented Speech Synthesis
Thanathai Lertpetchpun, Yoonjeong Lee, Thanapat Trachu +4
Many spoken languages, including English, exhibit wide variation in dialects and accents, making accent control an important capability for flexible text-to-speech (TTS) models. Cu…
