Complex-Text Robustness Evaluation and Failure Diagnosis for Low-Resource Multilingual Text-to-Speech
Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →The paper introduces a framework to evaluate and diagnose the robustness of low‑resource multilingual text‑to‑speech systems when faced with complex text inputs such as numbers, dates, named entities, long sentences, code‑switched expressions, and punctuation structures. It assesses robustness across content consistency, language consistency, and generation stability, and proposes automatic metrics (character error rate, language ID accuracy, duration abnormal rate) along with a lightweight Text Risk Score (TRS) that predicts synthesis risk from interpretable text features. Experiments on Thai, Vietnamese, Swahili, and Indonesian TTS systems reveal distinct failure patterns and show that TRS correlates positively with content and duration errors, offering a low‑cost pre‑synthesis risk indicator.
