arXiv:2606. 09234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) text-to-speech (TTS) systems typically adopt a cascaded pipeline consisting of a speech tokenizer, an autoregressive large language model (LLM), and a diffusion based flow-matching (FM) model, with these components trained independently.
arXiv:2512. 20978v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Language Model (LM)-based generative modeling has emerged as a promising direction for TSE, offering potential for improved generalization and high-fidelity speech.
arXiv:2607. 06831v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech-to-text alignment means finding the temporal boundaries of each word in the audio.
arXiv:2603. 05299v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models show that simple autoregressive training can yield scalable and coherent generation, but extending this paradigm to speech remains challenging due to the entanglement of semantic and acoustic information.
arXiv:2607. 04064v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unsupervised syllabic tokenization aims to learn discrete syllabic tokens that capture latent linguistic content-related structure from raw speech.
arXiv:2607. 03928v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accent normalization (AN) seeks to convert non-native (L2) accented speech into standard (L1) speech while preserving speaker identity.
