• Abstract: Previous works on expressive text-to-speech (TTS) have a limitation on robustness and speed when training and inferring. Such drawbacks mostly come from autoregressive decoding, which makes the succeeding step vulnerable to preceding error. To overcome this weakness, we propose STYLER, a novel expressive text-to-speech model with parallelized architecture. Expelling autoregressive decoding and introducing speech decomposition for encoding enables speech synthesis more robust even with high style transfer performance. Moreover, our novel noise modeling approach from audio using domain adversarial training and Residual Decoding enabled style transfer without transferring noise. Our experiments prove the naturalness and expressiveness of our model from comparison with other parallel TTS models. Together we investigate our model's robustness and speed by comparison with the expressive TTS model with autoregressive decoding.

  We propose a novel non-autoregressive generation framework for simultaneous speech translation (NAST-S2X) NAST-S2X integrates speech-to-text and speech-to-speech tasks into a unified end-to-end framework. It achieves high-quality simultaneous interpretation within a delay of less than 3 seconds and provides a 28 times decoding speedup in offline generation.

  This paper proposes GenerSpeech, a text-to-speech model towards high-fidelity zero-shot style transfer of OOD custom voice. GenerSpeech decomposes the speech variation into the style-agnostic and style-specific parts by introducing two components. Our evaluations on zero-shot style transfer demonstrate that GenerSpeech surpasses the state-of-the-art models in terms of audio quality and style similarity.

  Sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) voice conversion (VC) models are attractive owing to their ability to convert prosody. We propose to transfer knowledge from other speech processing tasks where large-scale corpora are easily available, typically text-to-speech (TTS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) We argue that VC models with such pretrained ASR or TTS model parameters can generate effective hidden representations for high-fidelity, highly intelligible converted speech.
