Audio and music generation based on flexible multimodal control signals is a widely applicable topic, with the following key challenges: 1) a unified multimodal modeling framework, and 2) large-scale, high-quality training data. As such, we propose AudioX, a unified framework for anything-to-audio g…
We tackle the task of long-form music generation, particularly the challenging \textbf{lyrics-to-song} problem, by introducing \textbf{YuE (乐)}, a family of open-source music generation foundation models. Specifically, YuE scales to trillions of tokens and generates up to five minutes of music while…
Deep Learning has advanced Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) in the past few years. Although it is known that deep learning-based ASV systems are vulnerable to adversarial examples in digital access, there are few studies on adversarial attacks in the context of physical access, where a replay pr…
While LLMs demonstrate impressive capabilities in musical knowledge, we find that music reasoning is still an unsolved task.We introduce ChatMusician, an open-source large language model (LLM) that integrates intrinsic musical abilities. It is based on continual pre-training and finetuning LLaMA2 on…
Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based vocoders are superior in inference speed and synthesis quality when reconstructing an audible waveform from an acoustic representation. This study focuses on improving the discriminator to promote GAN-based vocoders. Most existing time-frequency-representat…
Spontaneous speaking style exhibits notable differences from other speaking styles due to various spontaneous phenomena (e.g., filled pauses, prolongation) and substantial prosody variation (e.g., diverse pitch and duration variation, occasional non-verbal speech like a smile), posing challenges to…
Accent conversion aims to convert the accent of a source speech to a target accent, meanwhile preserving the speaker’s identity. This paper introduces a novel non-autoregressive framework for accent conversion that learns accent-agnostic linguistic representations and employs them to convert the acc…
Voice conversion for highly expressive speech is challenging. Current approaches struggle with the balance between speaker similarity, intelligibility, and expressiveness. To address this problem, we propose Expressive-VC, a novel end-to-end voice conversion framework that leverages advantages from…
