NeuralSpeech

NeuralSpeech is a research project at Microsoft Research Asia, which focuses on neural network based speech processing, including automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech synthesis (TTS), spatial audio synthesis, video dubbing, etc.

Currently this repo covers several research work:

• Automatic Speech Recognition
  • FastCorrect, NeurIPS 2021
  • FastCorrect 2, EMNLP 2021 Findings
  • SoftCorrect, AAAI 2023
  • MaskCorrect, EMNLP 2022
  • CMatch for ASR, INTERSPEECH 2021
  • Adapter for ASR, TASLP 2022
• Text-to-Speech Synthesis
  • LightSpeech, ICASSP 2021
  • PriorGrad, ICLR 2022
  • PromptTTS 2, ICLR 2024
• Spatial Audio Synthesis
  • BinauralGrad, NeurIPS 2022
• Video Dubbing
  • VideoDubber, AAAI 2023
