• Abstract: To date, various speech technology systems have adopted the vocoder approach, a method for synthesizing speech waveform that shows a major role in the performance of statistical parametric speech synthesis. WaveNet one of the best models that nearly resembles the human voice, has to generate a waveform in a time consuming sequential manner with an extremely complex structure of its neural networks.

  This work proposes a diffusion probabilistic end-to-end model for generating a raw speech waveform. Our model is autoregressive, generating overlapping frames sequentially, where each frame is conditioned on a portion of the previously generated one. Experiments show that the proposed model generates speech with superior quality compared with other state-of-the-art neural speech generation systems.

  We propose a novel neural vocoder named NeuralDPS which can retain high speech quality and acquire high synthesis efficiency and noise controllability. It generates waveforms at least 280 times faster than the WaveNet vocoder. It is also 28% faster than WaveGAN's synthesis efficiency on a single core.

  The proposed method employs a multi-scale reference encoder to extract both the global-scale utterance-level and the local-scale quasi-phoneme-level style features of the target speech. During training time, the multi-scale style model could be jointly trained with the speech synthesis model in an end-to-end fashion.
