WAVENEXT 2: CONVNEXT-BASED FAST NEURAL VOCODERS WITH RESIDUAL DENOISING AND SUB-MODELING FOR GAN AND DIFFUSION MODELS

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 only been used in GAN frameworks and have limited performance in multi-speaker settings. Moreover, diffusion models, de…
