Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Personalized and Culturally Adaptive Emotional TTS via Interactive Optimization of Individual Emotion Perception Spaces
Wangzixi Zhou, Bagus Tris Atmaja, Sakriani Sakti
The rise of conversational AI has increased interest in emotional Text-to-Speech (TTS). Most systems rely on discrete emotion labels, which fail to capture the nuanced nature of hu…
WaveNeXt 2: ConvNeXt-Based Fast Neural Vocoders With Residual Denoising and Sub-Modeling for GAN and Diffusion Models
Wangzixi Zhou, Takuma Okamoto, Yamato Ohtani +2
Most neural vocoders are limited to one type: either GAN or diffusion-based. While state-of-the-art models like Vocos and WaveNeXt use powerful ConvNeXt-based generators, they have…
Toward Natural Emotional Text-To-Speech System with Fine-Grained Non-Verbal Expression Control
Wangzixi Zhou, Bagus Tris Atmaja, Sakriani Sakti
While current emotional Text-to-Speech (TTS) models have successfully controlled verbal prosody, they often ignore non-verbal vocalizations (NVs), which are essential for authentic…
