Abstract: This paper investigates leveraging large-scale speech data to enhance prosodic modeling in speech synthesis, and introduces a model named SP2MC which achieves self-supervised prosody ...

Thus, it is highly desirable to design a fundamental task that benefits other downstream tasks. This paper introduces a multi-talker speaking style captioning task to enhance the understanding of ...

Using intracerebral recordings, the authors find abstract prosodic categories in continuous speech are encoded differently to segmental features by Heschl’s gyrus, suggesting specialized ...

The available evidence base indicates that multiple oppositions is a promising intervention with probable efficacy for creating system-wide change that increases speech intelligibility in children ...
