abstract

Capturing high-level structure in audio waveforms is challenging because a single second of audio spans tens of thousands of timesteps. While long-range dependencies are difficult to model directly in the time domain, we show that they can be more tractably modelled in two-dimensional time-frequency representations such as spectrograms. By leveraging this representational advantage, in conjunction with a highly expressive probabilistic model and a multiscale generation procedure, we design a model capable of generating high-fidelity audio samples which capture structure at timescales that time-domain models have yet to achieve. We apply our model to a variety of audio generation tasks, including unconditional speech generation, music generation, and text-to-speech synthesis---showing improvements over previous approaches in both density estimates and human judgments.

DiffWave: A Versatile Diffusion Model for Audio Synthesis

eess.AS · 2020-09-21 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

DiffWave is a non-autoregressive diffusion model that generates high-fidelity audio waveforms from noise in constant steps, matching WaveNet vocoder quality while being orders of magnitude faster and outperforming prior models in unconditional generation.

Jukebox: A Generative Model for Music

eess.AS · 2020-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Jukebox generates high-fidelity and diverse songs with singing and coherence up to multiple minutes by compressing raw audio via multi-scale VQ-VAE and modeling the codes with large autoregressive Transformers conditioned on artist, genre, and unaligned lyrics.
