arXiv:2601. 03888v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In prior work, we introduced IndexTTS 2, a zero-shot neural text-to-speech foundation model comprising two core components: a transformer-based Text-to-Semantic (T2S) module and a non-autoregressive Semantic-to-Mel (S2M) module, which together enable faithful emotion replication and establish the first autoregressive duration-controllable generative paradigm.

State-of-the-art speech datasets predominantly focus on widely spoken languages, often overlooking low-resource languages such as Luxembourgish, which remain underrepresented in speech technology research. In this work, we introduce LuxEmo, a 21-hour conversational expressive speech corpus for Luxembourgish with 4 emotion categories.
