• Authors: Chenshuang Zhang and Chaoning Zhang and Sheng Zheng and Mengchun Zhang and Maryam Qamar and Sung-Ho Bae and In So Kweon
• Abstract summary: Generative AI has demonstrated impressive performance in various fields, among which speech synthesis is an interesting direction. With the diffusion model as the most popular generative model, numerous works have attempted two active tasks: text to speech and speech enhancement. This work conducts a survey on audio diffusion model, which is complementary to existing surveys.

• Abstract: Generative AI has demonstrated impressive performance in various fields, among which speech synthesis is an interesting direction. With the diffusion model as the most popular generative model, numerous works have attempted two active tasks: text to speech and speech enhancement. This work conducts a survey on audio diffusion model, which is complementary to existing surveys that either lack the recent progress of diffusion-based speech synthesis or highlight an overall picture of applying diffusion model in multiple fields. Specifically, this work first briefly introduces the background of audio and diffusion model. As for the text-to-speech task, we divide the methods into three categories based on the stage where diffusion model is adopted: acoustic model, vocoder and end-to-end framework. Moreover, we categorize various speech enhancement tasks by either certain signals are removed or added into the input speech. Comparisons of experimental results and discussions are also covered in this survey.

  Spoken language understanding requires a model to analyze input acoustic signal to understand its linguistic content and make predictions. Various pre-training methods have been proposed to learn rich representations from large-scale unannotated speech and text. We propose a novel semi-supervised learning framework, SPLAT, to jointly pre-train the speech and language modules.

• Filling the Gap of Utterance-aware and Speaker-aware Representation for Multi-turn Dialogue [76.88174667929665]
  A multi-turn dialogue is composed of multiple utterances from two or more different speaker roles. In the existing retrieval-based multi-turn dialogue modeling, the pre-trained language models (PrLMs) as encoder represent the dialogues coarsely. We propose a novel model to fill such a gap by modeling the effective utterance-aware and speaker-aware representations entailed in a dialogue history.
