Text-To-Speech Synthesis In The Wild
Jee-weon Jung, Wangyou Zhang, Soumi Maiti +11
Traditional Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems rely on studio-quality speech recorded in controlled settings.a Recently, an effort known as noisy-TTS training has emerged, aiming to util…
Context-Driven Dynamic Pruning for Large Speech Foundation Models
Masao Someki, Shikhar Bharadwaj, Atharva Anand Joshi +7
Speech foundation models achieve strong generalization across languages and acoustic conditions, but require significant computational resources for inference. In the context of sp…
ESPnet-Codec: Comprehensive Training and Evaluation of Neural Codecs for Audio, Music, and Speech
Jiatong Shi, Jinchuan Tian, Yihan Wu +17
Neural codecs have become crucial to recent speech and audio generation research. In addition to signal compression capabilities, discrete codecs have also been found to enhance do…
Speaker-IPL: Unsupervised Learning of Speaker Characteristics with i-Vector based Pseudo-Labels
Zakaria Aldeneh, Takuya Higuchi, Jee-weon Jung +6
Iterative self-training, or iterative pseudo-labeling (IPL) -- using an improved model from the current iteration to provide pseudo-labels for the next iteration -- has proven to b…
Beyond Performance Plateaus: A Comprehensive Study on Scalability in Speech Enhancement
Wangyou Zhang, Kohei Saijo, Jee-weon Jung +3
Deep learning-based speech enhancement (SE) models have achieved impressive performance in the past decade. Numerous advanced architectures have been designed to deliver state-of-t…
