Speaker-Conditioned Phrase Break Prediction for Text-to-Speech with Phoneme-Level Pre-trained Language Model
Dong Yang, Yuki Saito, Takaaki Saeki +4
This paper advances phrase break prediction (also known as phrasing) in multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) systems. We integrate speaker-specific features by leveraging speaker emb…

Shallow Flow Matching for Coarse-to-Fine Text-to-Speech Synthesis
Dong Yang, Yiyi Cai, Yuki Saito +2
We propose Shallow Flow Matching (SFM), a novel mechanism that enhances flow matching (FM)-based text-to-speech (TTS) models within a coarse-to-fine generation paradigm. Unlike con…
