SimulS2ST-Omni: Data-Efficient Streaming Speech-to-Speech Translation via Explicit Trajectory Supervision
Rongshen He, Xinyu Liang, Dekun Chen +3
Long-form streaming speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) requires incremental, unbounded translation under strict latency constraints. Existing methods typically suffer from sentenc…
FlexiSLM: A Dynamic and Controllable Frame Rate Spoken Language Model
Jiaqi Li, Chaoren Wang, Xiaohai Tian +9
Spoken language models (SLMs) extend LLMs to speech input and output. Existing SLMs represent speech at fixed frame rates (e.g., 25 or 12.5 Hz), ignoring the time-varying informati…
FlexiCodec: A Dynamic Neural Audio Codec for Low Frame Rates
Jiaqi Li, Yao Qian, Yuxuan Hu +7
Neural audio codecs are foundational to speech language models. It is expected to have a low frame rate and decoupled semantic and acoustic information. A lower frame rate codec ca…
Emilia: A Large-Scale, Extensive, Multilingual, and Diverse Dataset for Speech Generation
Haorui He, Zengqiang Shang, Chaoren Wang +11
Recent advancements in speech generation have been driven by large-scale training datasets. However, current models struggle to capture the spontaneity and variability inherent in…
DualCodec: A Low-Frame-Rate, Semantically-Enhanced Neural Audio Codec for Speech Generation
Jiaqi Li, Xiaolong Lin, Zhekai Li +5
Neural audio codecs form the foundational building blocks for language model (LM)-based speech generation. Typically, there is a trade-off between frame rate and audio quality. Thi…
TaDiCodec: Text-aware Diffusion Speech Tokenizer for Speech Language Modeling
Yuancheng Wang, Dekun Chen, Xueyao Zhang +3
Speech tokenizers serve as foundational components for speech language models, yet current designs exhibit several limitations, including: 1) dependence on multi-layer residual vec…
