Several recent studies have attempted to autoregressively generate continuous speech representations without discrete speech tokens by combining diffusion and autoregressive models, yet they often face challenges with excessive computational loads or suboptimal outcomes. In this work, we propose Dif…
Dialogue serves as the most natural manner of human-computer interaction (HCI). Recent advancements in speech language models (SLM), have significantly enhanced speech-based conversational AI. However, these models are limited to turn-based conversation, lacking the ability to interact with humans i…
We introduce MMAR, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the deep reasoning capabilities of Audio-Language Models (ALMs) across massive multi-disciplinary tasks. MMAR comprises 1,000 meticulously curated audio-question-answer triplets, collected from real-world internet videos and refined through ite…
Recent development of neural vocoders based on the generative adversarial neural network (GAN) has shown obvious advantages of generating raw waveform conditioned on mel-spectrogram with fast inference speed and lightweight networks. Whereas, it is still challenging to train a universal neural vocod…
In this paper, we propose VISinger, a complete end-to-end high-quality singing voice synthesis (SVS) system that directly generates singing audio from lyrics and musical score. Our approach is inspired by VITS [1], an end-to-end speech generation model which adopts VAE-based posterior encoder augmen…
