APA Citation of NaturalSpeech: End-to-End Text to Speech Synthesis with Human-Level Quality
- Summary: NaturalSpeech proposes a system for converting text to speech (TTS) that achieves human-level quality. It leverages a variational autoencoder (VAE) to bridge the gap between text and speech waveforms.
- RQ (Research Question): Can a TTS system achieve speech quality indistinguishable from humans?
- Hypothesis: By incorporating a VAE and specific techniques to improve the model's understanding of text and speech features, NaturalSpeech can generate speech indistinguishable from humans.
- Conclusion: The paper argues that NaturalSpeech achieves human-level speech quality based on statistical measures (MOS and CMOS) in human evaluations.
- Critical Observations: The evaluation relies on subjective human ratings, which might be influenced by factors beyond speech quality.The research focuses on a single benchmark dataset, limiting generalizability.The paper doesn't explore how NaturalSpeech performs on diverse speaking styles or accents.
- Relevance: This is related to my study because it provides a definition of human-level quality, and this particular model has achieved the highest Mean Opinion Score (MOS) recorded thus far. Hence, I am considering using this model as a basis for my study.
