DiT-Flow: Speech Enhancement Robust to Multiple Distortions based on Flow Matching in Latent Space and Diffusion Transformers

Tianyu Cao, Helin Wang, Ari Frummer +7

Recent advances in generative models, such as diffusion and flow matching, have shown strong performance in audio tasks. However, speech enhancement (SE) models are typically train…

Reconstruct! Don't Encode: Self-Supervised Representation Reconstruction Loss for High-Intelligibility and Low-Latency Streaming Neural Audio Codec

Junhyeok Lee, Xiluo He, Jihwan Lee +6

Neural audio codecs optimized for mel-spectrogram reconstruction often fail to preserve intelligibility. While semantic encoder distillation improves encoded representations, it do…

Spoken DialogSum: An Emotion-Rich Conversational Dataset for Spoken Dialogue Summarization

Yen-Ju Lu, Kunxiao Gao, Mingrui Liang +5

Recent audio language models can follow long conversations. However, research on emotion-aware or spoken dialogue summarization is constrained by the lack of data that links speech…

MaskVCT: Masked Voice Codec Transformer for Zero-Shot Voice Conversion With Increased Controllability via Multiple Guidances

Junhyeok Lee, Helin Wang, Yaohan Guan +4

We introduce MaskVCT, a zero-shot voice conversion (VC) model that offers multi-factor controllability through multiple classifier-free guidances (CFGs). While previous VC models r…

Vox-Profile: A Speech Foundation Model Benchmark for Characterizing Diverse Speaker Traits and Speech Properties

Tiantian Feng, Jihwan Lee, Anfeng Xu +9

We introduce Vox-Profile, a comprehensive benchmark to characterize rich speaker traits and speech properties using speech foundation models. Unlike prior work that targets a singl…

Noise-robust Speech Separation with Fast Generative Correction

Helin Wang, Jesus Villalba, Laureano Moro-Velazquez +3

Speech separation, the task of isolating multiple speech sources from a mixed audio signal, remains challenging in noisy environments. In this paper, we propose a generative correc…

Improving fairness for spoken language understanding in atypical speech with Text-to-Speech

Helin Wang, Venkatesh Ravichandran, Milind Rao +8

Spoken language understanding (SLU) systems often exhibit suboptimal performance in processing atypical speech, typically caused by neurological conditions and motor impairments. R…
