Why Do Speech Language Models Fail to Generate Semantically Coherent Outputs? A Modality Evolving Perspective
Hankun Wang, Haoran Wang, Yiwei Guo +3
Although text-based large language models exhibit human-level writing ability and remarkable intelligence, speech language models (SLMs) still struggle to generate semantically coh…
Recent Advances in Discrete Speech Tokens: A Review
Yiwei Guo, Zhihan Li, Hankun Wang +7
The rapid advancement of speech generation technologies in the era of large language models (LLMs) has established discrete speech tokens as a foundational paradigm for speech repr…
DiTAR: Diffusion Transformer Autoregressive Modeling for Speech Generation
Dongya Jia, Zhuo Chen, Jiawei Chen +8
Several recent studies have attempted to autoregressively generate continuous speech representations without discrete speech tokens by combining diffusion and autoregressive models…
DiSTAR: Diffusion over a Scalable Token Autoregressive Representation for Speech Generation
Yakun Song, Xiaobin Zhuang, Jiawei Chen +8
Recent attempts to interleave autoregressive (AR) sketchers with diffusion-based refiners over continuous speech representations have shown promise, but they remain brittle under d…
Direct Preference Optimization for Speech Autoregressive Diffusion Models
Zhijun Liu, Dongya Jia, Xiaoqiang Wang +4
Autoregressive diffusion models (ARDMs) have recently been applied to speech generation, achieving state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in zero-shot text-to-speech. By autoregressiv…
MagiCodec: Simple Masked Gaussian-Injected Codec for High-Fidelity Reconstruction and Generation
Yakun Song, Jiawei Chen, Xiaobin Zhuang +9
Neural audio codecs have made significant strides in efficiently mapping raw audio waveforms into discrete token representations, which are foundational for contemporary audio gene…
