• Abstract: In this work, we present DiffVoice, a novel text-to-speech model based on latent diffusion. We propose to first encode speech signals into a phoneme-rate latent representation with a variational autoencoder enhanced by adversarial training, and then jointly model the duration and the latent representation with a diffusion model. Subjective evaluations on LJSpeech and LibriTTS datasets demonstrate that our method beats the best publicly available systems in naturalness. By adopting recent generative inverse problem solving algorithms for diffusion models, DiffVoice achieves the state-of-the-art performance in text-based speech editing, and zero-shot adaptation.

  This paper proposes a new unsupervised audiovisual speech enhancement (AVSE) approach. It combines a diffusion-based audio-visual speech generative model with a non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) noise model. Experimental results confirm that the proposed AVSE approach not only outperforms its audio-only counterpart but also generalizes better than a recent supervisedgenerative AVSE method.

• Unsupervised speech enhancement with diffusion-based generative models [0.0]
  We introduce an alternative approach that operates in an unsupervised manner, leveraging the generative power of diffusion models. We develop a posterior sampling methodology for speech enhancement by combining the learnt clean speech prior with a noise model for speech signal inference. We show promising results compared to a recent variational auto-encoder (VAE)-based unsupervised approach and a state-of-the-art diffusion-based supervised method.
