Realizing record-high transverse thermoelectric figure of merit at room temperature in artificially tilted multilayers based on high power factor NiFe alloy
Yebin Lee, Fuyuki Ando, Takamasa Hirai +3
Transverse thermoelectric conversion using artificially tilted multilayers (ATMLs) offers a versatile device architecture that circumvents the structural limitations of conventiona…
Tagarela - A Portuguese speech dataset from podcasts
Frederico Santos de Oliveira, Lucas Rafael Stefanel Gris, Alef Iury Siqueira Ferreira +8
Despite significant advances in speech processing, Portuguese remains under-resourced due to the scarcity of public, large-scale, and high-quality datasets. To address this gap, we…
Frame-Stacked Local Transformers For Efficient Multi-Codebook Speech Generation
Roy Fejgin, Paarth Neekhara, Xuesong Yang +6
Speech generation models based on large language models (LLMs) typically operate on discrete acoustic codes, which differ fundamentally from text tokens due to their multicodebook…
Align2Speak: Improving TTS for Low Resource Languages via ASR-Guided Online Preference Optimization
Shehzeen Hussain, Paarth Neekhara, Xuesong Yang +7
Developing high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) systems for low-resource languages is challenging due to the scarcity of paired text and speech data. In contrast, automatic speech rec…
HiFiTTS-2: A Large-Scale High Bandwidth Speech Dataset
Ryan Langman, Xuesong Yang, Paarth Neekhara +4
This paper introduces HiFiTTS-2, a large-scale speech dataset designed for high-bandwidth speech synthesis. The dataset is derived from LibriVox audiobooks, and contains approximat…
NanoCodec: Towards High-Quality Ultra Fast Speech LLM Inference
Edresson Casanova, Paarth Neekhara, Ryan Langman +6
Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly advanced audio processing by leveraging audio codecs to discretize audio into tokens, enabling the application of language modeling…
