Expressive Text-to-Speech (TTS) using reference speech has been studied extensively to synthesize natural speech, but there are limitations to obtaining well-represented styles and improving model generalization ability. In this study, we…

In recent years, neural network based methods for multi-speaker text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) have made significant progress. However, the current speaker encoder models used in these methods still cannot capture enough speaker…

Singing voice synthesis (SVS) system is expected to generate high-fidelity singing voice from given music scores (lyrics, duration and pitch). Recently, diffusion models have performed well in this field. However, sacrificing inference…

This paper introduces DLM-One, a score-distillation-based framework for one-step sequence generation with continuous diffusion language models (DLMs). DLM-One eliminates the need for iterative refinement by aligning the scores of a student…

Emotional text-to-speech seeks to convey affect while preserving intelligibility and prosody, yet existing methods rely on coarse labels or proxy classifiers and receive only utterance-level feedback. We introduce Emotion-Aware Stepwise…

Autoregressive (AR) models with diffusion heads have recently achieved strong text-to-audio performance, yet their iterative decoding and multi-step sampling process introduce high-latency issues. To address this bottleneck, we propose a…

Consistency models imitate the multi-step sampling of score-based diffusion in a single forward pass of a neural network. They can be learned in two ways: consistency distillation and consistency training. The former relies on the true…

Diffusion models have recently advanced photorealistic human synthesis, although practical talking-head generation (THG) remains constrained by high inference latency, temporal instability such as flicker and identity drift, and imperfect…

Recent advancements in speech synthesis have enabled large language model (LLM)-based systems to perform zero-shot generation with controllable content, timbre, speaker identity, and emotion through input prompts. As a result, these models…
