On the Interplay Between Sparsity, Naturalness, Intelligibility, and Prosody in Speech Synthesis
Cheng-I Jeff Lai, Erica Cooper, Yang Zhang +8
Are end-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) models over-parametrized? To what extent can these models be pruned, and what happens to their synthesis capabilities? This work serves as a sta…
Understanding Interlocking Dynamics of Cooperative Rationalization
Mo Yu, Yang Zhang, Shiyu Chang +1
Selective rationalization explains the prediction of complex neural networks by finding a small subset of the input that is sufficient to predict the neural model output. The selec…
Global Rhythm Style Transfer Without Text Transcriptions
Kaizhi Qian, Yang Zhang, Shiyu Chang +4
Prosody plays an important role in characterizing the style of a speaker or an emotion, but most non-parallel voice or emotion style transfer algorithms do not convert any prosody…
PARP: Prune, Adjust and Re-Prune for Self-Supervised Speech Recognition
Cheng-I Jeff Lai, Yang Zhang, Alexander H. Liu +7
Self-supervised speech representation learning (speech SSL) has demonstrated the benefit of scale in learning rich representations for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) with limit…
