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…
Vevo2: A Unified and Controllable Framework for Speech and Singing Voice Generation
Xueyao Zhang, Junan Zhang, Yuancheng Wang +5
Controllable human voice generation, particularly for expressive domains like singing, remains a significant challenge. This paper introduces Vevo2, a unified framework for control…
Scaling Speech Tokenizers with Diffusion Autoencoders
Yuancheng Wang, Zhenyu Tang, Yun Wang +9
Speech tokenizers are foundational to speech language models, yet existing approaches face two major challenges: (1) balancing trade-offs between encoding semantics for understandi…
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…
SpeechJudge: Towards Human-Level Judgment for Speech Naturalness
Xueyao Zhang, Chaoren Wang, Huan Liao +8
Aligning large generative models with human feedback is a critical challenge. In speech synthesis, this is particularly pronounced due to the lack of a large-scale human preference…
Multi-Metric Preference Alignment for Generative Speech Restoration
Junan Zhang, Xueyao Zhang, Jing Yang +3
Recent generative models have significantly advanced speech restoration tasks, yet their training objectives often misalign with human perceptual preferences, resulting in suboptim…
