Self-supervised learning (SSL) speech representations learned from large amounts of diverse, mixed-quality speech data without transcriptions are gaining ground in many speech technology applications. Prior work has shown that SSL is an…

Information in speech can be categorized into two groups: Content (what is being said, such as linguistics) and Other (how it is expressed such as information about speaker and paralinguistic features). Current self-supervised learning…

Modern audio generation predominantly relies on latent-space compression, introducing additional complexity and potential information loss. In this work, we challenge this paradigm with WavFlow, a framework that generates high-fidelity…
