Binaural stereo audio is recorded by imitating the way the human ear receives sound, which provides people with an immersive listening experience. Existing approaches leverage autoencoders and directly exploit visual spatial information to…

Traditional text-to-speech (TTS) methods primarily focus on establishing a mapping between phonemes and mel-spectrograms. However, during the phoneme encoding stage, there is often a lack of real mel-spectrogram auxiliary information, which…
