arXiv:2604. 14606v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Universal speech enhancement (USE) aims to restore speech signals from diverse distortions across multiple sampling rates.
arXiv:2604. 01832v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce GAP-URGENet, a generative-predictive fusion framework developed for Track 1 of the ICASSP 2026 URGENT Challenge.
arXiv:2511. 13300v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative models have shown remarkable performance in speech enhancement (SE), achieving superior perceptual quality over traditional discriminative approaches.
arXiv:2603. 09234v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Achieving high perceptual quality without hallucination remains a challenge in generative speech enhancement (SE).
arXiv:2510. 20441v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural audio codecs have largely promoted the application of language models (LMs) for speech applications.
arXiv:2605. 29948v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unified speech foundation models require a holistic tokenization space that is both learnable by language models and decodable into high-quality waveforms.
Neural audio codecs are a key component of speech processing pipelines, compressing audio into discrete tokens for downstream modeling. However, existing codecs struggle to balance reconstruction quality with token efficiency, often encoding perceptually irrelevant information such as background noise and recording artifacts at the expense of linguistically and acoustically meaningful content.
arXiv:2607. 10191v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative streaming models for Target Speaker Extraction (TSE) commonly exhibit a quality--intelligibility trade-off, wherein naive optimization for perceptual audio quality tends to degrade speech intelligibility, and conversely.
arXiv:2606. 09048v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Removing intermediate representations and separately trained decoding stages has become an important direction in generative modeling.
arXiv:2601. 09239v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech tokenizers are a key building block of fully discrete Speech LLMs.
arXiv:2608. 09288v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio-visual speech enhancement under real-world conditions remains challenging due to unreliable visual inputs and the lack of large-scale training data with realistic acoustic conditions.
arXiv:2606. 31552v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Room-acoustic simulations are widely used to augment training data for deep-learning-based speech enhancement.
arXiv:2607. 09134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Representation alignment (REPA) has been investigated to accelerate diffusion training, but we observe that regularizing intermediate representations in diffusion Transformers (DiT) may implicitly entangle latents and limit generative capacity.
