Non-autoregressive (NAR) automatic speech recognition (ASR) models predict tokens independently and simultaneously, bringing high inference speed. However, there is still a gap in the accuracy of the NAR models compared to the autoregressive (AR) models. In this paper, we propose a single-step NAR A…
Recently, the field of Text-to-speech synthesis has been predominantly characterized by end-to-end models, with the quality of speech generated by these models becoming increasingly comparable to that of human speech. In this work, we propose a Lightweight and Efficient Text-to-speech model, a fast…
In this work, we present DFlow, a novel generative framework that combines Normalizing Flow (NF) with a Denoising AutoEncoder (DAE), for high-fidelity waveform generation. With a tactfully designed structure, DFlow seamlessly integrates the capabilities of both NF and DAE, resulting in a significant…
In automatic speech recognition (ASR) task, the output sequence should correspond to a linear transcription of the input sequence. Lots of works have been done to learn the monotonic alignment in end-to-end (E2E) ASR model, but their methods mainly focus on streaming propose and usually result in a…
In this work, we address the Text-to-Speech (TTS) task by proposing a non-autoregressive architecture called EfficientTTS. Unlike the dominant non-autoregressive TTS models, which are trained with the need of external aligners, EfficientTTS optimizes all its parameters with a stable, end-to-end trai…
Existing multi-style speech synthesis methods require either style labels or large amounts of unlabeled training data, making data acquisition difficult. In this paper, we present an unsupervised multi-style speech synthesis method that can be trained with limited data. We leverage instance discrimi…
In this work, we propose Flow-TTS, a non-autoregressive end-to-end neural TTS model based on generative flow. Unlike other non-autoregressive models, Flow-TTS can achieve high-quality speech generation by using a single feed-forward network. To our knowledge, Flow-TTS is the first TTS model utilizin…
