Long-Prompt Zero-Shot TTS: Benchmarking Prosody Reproduction Beyond Voice Cloning
Dekun Chen, Renjie Xu, Yingda Shen +2
Zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) typically conditions on a short speech prompt, which conveys timbre but provides only limited evidence of a speaker's prosodic patterns. We formulate…
What Matters in Preference Post-Training of Continuous Autoregressive Speech Language Models
Yingda Shen, Yao Qian, Dekun Chen +6
Continuous autoregressive speech language models combine an autoregressive (AR) backbone with a diffusion or flow-matching head. Preference post-training requires choosing how to c…
CycleSpeech: Reciprocal Alignment for Instruction-Controlled Speech Synthesis and Paralinguistic Understanding
Huan Liao, Haonan Han, Xingwen Han +3
Instruction-controlled speech synthesis and paralinguistic understanding are often trained independently, leaving reciprocal feedback between the two tasks underexplored. We introd…
GenTraceBench: A Benchmark for Tracing Audio Deepfakes Across Pre- and Post-training Stages
Li Wang, Kunyu Feng, Wan Lin +7
Modern text-to-speech (TTS) systems are rarely deployed as unchanged pre-trained models. They are often adapted through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) or preference optimization such…
SimulS2ST-Omni: Data-Efficient Streaming Speech-to-Speech Translation via Explicit Trajectory Supervision
Rongshen He, Xinyu Liang, Dekun Chen +3
Long-form streaming speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) requires incremental, unbounded translation under strict latency constraints. Existing methods typically suffer from sentenc…
VoxSafeBench: Not Just What Is Said, but Who, How, and Where
Yuxiang Wang, Hongyu Liu, Yijiang Xu +9
As speech language models (SLMs) transition from personal devices into shared, multi-user environments, their responses must account for far more than the words alone. Who is speak…
MimicLM: Zero-Shot Voice Imitation through Autoregressive Modeling of Pseudo-Parallel Speech Corpora
Tao Feng, Yuxiang Wang, Yuancheng Wang +5
Voice imitation aims to transform source speech to match a reference speaker's timbre and speaking style while preserving linguistic content. A straightforward approach is to train…
NV-Bench: Benchmark of Nonverbal Vocalization Synthesis for Expressive Text-to-Speech Generation
Qinke Ni, Huan Liao, Dekun Chen +2
While recent text-to-speech (TTS) systems increasingly integrate nonverbal vocalizations (NVs), their evaluations lack standardized metrics and reliable ground-truth references. To…
FlexiVoice: Enabling Flexible Style Control in Zero-Shot TTS with Natural Language Instructions
Dekun Chen, Xueyao Zhang, Yuancheng Wang +3
This study proposes FlexiVoice, a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system capable of flexible style control with zero-shot voice cloning. The speaking style is controlled by a natura…
