GROW: Group-Relative Advantage-Weighted On-Policy Reinforcement Learning of Autoregressive-Diffusion Text-to-Speech model
Guanrou Yang, Tian Tan, Qian Chen +8
Reinforcement learning for flow-matching text-to-speech is complicated by deterministic ODE sampling: trajectory-level policy-gradient methods typically convert the ODE into an SDE…
WavTTS: Towards High-Quality Zero-Shot TTS via Direct Raw Waveform Modeling
Wenxi Chen, Dongya Jia, Yushen Chen +11
Recently, diffusion models operating on VAE latents or mel-spectrograms have become the dominant paradigm for zero-shot TTS. Although these compressed representations improve gener…
Evaluating the Expressive Appropriateness of Speech in Rich Contexts
Tianrui Wang, Ziyang Ma, Yizhou Peng +26
Evaluating expressive speech remains challenging, as existing methods mainly assess emotional intensity and overlook whether a speech sample is expressively appropriate for its con…
WavCube: Unifying Speech Representation for Understanding and Generation via Semantic-Acoustic Joint Modeling
Guanrou Yang, Tian Tan, Qian Chen +12
Integrating speech understanding and generation is a pivotal step toward building unified speech models. However, the different representations required for these two tasks current…
Towards Fine-Grained and Multi-Granular Contrastive Language-Speech Pre-training
Yifan Yang, Bing Han, Hui Wang +8
Modeling fine-grained speaking styles remains challenging for language-speech representation pre-training, as existing speech-text models are typically trained with coarse captions…
Word-Level Emotional Expression Control in Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech Synthesis
Tianrui Wang, Haoyu Wang, Meng Ge +10
While emotional text-to-speech (TTS) has made significant progress, most existing research remains limited to utterance-level emotional expression and fails to support word-level c…
