Flow2GAN: Hybrid Flow Matching and GAN with Multi-Resolution Network for Few-step High-Fidelity Audio Generation
Zengwei Yao, Wei Kang, Han Zhu +8
Existing dominant methods for audio generation include Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and diffusion-based methods like Flow Matching. GANs suffer from slow convergence duri…
ZipVoice-Dialog: Non-Autoregressive Spoken Dialogue Generation with Flow Matching
Han Zhu, Wei Kang, Liyong Guo +11
Generating spoken dialogue is inherently more complex than monologue text-to-speech (TTS), as it demands both realistic turn-taking and the maintenance of distinct speaker timbres.…
ZipVoice: Fast and High-Quality Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech with Flow Matching
Han Zhu, Wei Kang, Zengwei Yao +6
Existing large-scale zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) models deliver high speech quality but suffer from slow inference speeds due to massive parameters. To address this issue, this…
k2SSL: A Faster and Better Framework for Self-Supervised Speech Representation Learning
Yifan Yang, Jianheng Zhuo, Zengrui Jin +9
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has achieved great success in speech-related tasks. While Transformer and Conformer architectures have dominated SSL backbones, encoders like Zipform…
CR-CTC: Consistency regularization on CTC for improved speech recognition
Zengwei Yao, Wei Kang, Xiaoyu Yang +7
Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) is a widely used method for automatic speech recognition (ASR), renowned for its simplicity and computational efficiency. However, it of…
Zipformer: A faster and better encoder for automatic speech recognition
Zengwei Yao, Liyong Guo, Xiaoyu Yang +6
The Conformer has become the most popular encoder model for automatic speech recognition (ASR). It adds convolution modules to a transformer to learn both local and global dependen…
Libriheavy: a 50,000 hours ASR corpus with punctuation casing and context
Wei Kang, Xiaoyu Yang, Zengwei Yao +5
In this paper, we introduce Libriheavy, a large-scale ASR corpus consisting of 50,000 hours of read English speech derived from LibriVox. To the best of our knowledge, Libriheavy i…
PromptASR for contextualized ASR with controllable style
Xiaoyu Yang, Wei Kang, Zengwei Yao +5
Prompts are crucial to large language models as they provide context information such as topic or logical relationships. Inspired by this, we propose PromptASR, a framework that in…
Towards Universal Speech Discrete Tokens: A Case Study for ASR and TTS
Yifan Yang, Feiyu Shen, Chenpeng Du +4
Self-supervised learning (SSL) proficiency in speech-related tasks has driven research into utilizing discrete tokens for speech tasks like recognition and translation, which offer…
