The proposed SpeechComposer model is a novel decoder-only speech language model that unifies common speech tasks by composing fixed prompt tokens. By combining four primary tasks – speech synthesis, recognition, language modeling, and text language modeling – SpeechComposer can extend to more tasks like voice conversion and enhancement. The model’s ability to share knowledge between tasks in a structured manner improves performance on both individual and composite tasks.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
SpeechComposer is a new kind of computer program that helps machines understand and create speech. It combines four different tasks into one, making it easy to add new tasks later. This makes the program better at understanding and creating speech. The results show that this model works well for many tasks.
