Abstract: GAN vocoders are currently one of the state-of-the-art methods for building high-quality neural waveform generative models. However, most of their architectures require dozens of billion ...

Vocos is a fast neural vocoder designed to synthesize audio waveforms from acoustic features. Trained using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) objective, Vocos can generate waveforms in a single ...

Although deep neural networks have facilitated significant progress of neural vocoders in recent years, they usually suffer from intrinsic challenges like opaque modeling, inflexible retraining under ...

Abstract: Vocoder-based speech synthesis has become a promising technique to accommodate the demands of high-quality speech analysis, manipulation, and synthesis. However, most existing works focus on ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human brain? If you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our ...

In 1998, astronomers discovered dark energy. The finding, which transformed our conception of the cosmos, came with a little-known consequence: It threw a wrench into the already daunting task of ...

Grammy-winning bluegrass sensation Billy Strings teased a possible return to his Ionia County roots with a cryptic social media post Tuesday, Jan. 13. In the post, shared on Facebook and Instagram, ...

Beyond his widespread recognition on the cutting edge of bluegrass and quick picking, Billy Strings is quickly becoming an innovator in tour previews. After forecasting major tours last year with a ...
