https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.05370 https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.05370 > Our experiments on the LibriSpeech and VCTK datasets show that VALL-E 2 surpasses previous systems in speech robustness, naturalness, and speaker similarity. It is the first of its kind to reach human parity on these benchmarks. Moreover, VALL-E 2 consistently synthesizes high-quality speech, even for sentences that are traditionally challenging due to their complexity or repetitive phrases https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/vall-e-x/vall-e-2/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/vall-e-x/va... > This page is for research demonstration purposes only. Currently, we have no plans to incorporate VALL-E 2 into a product or expand access to the public. If you go back and look at older cities they almost all have the same pattern: walls and gates. I figure now that the Internet is a badlands roamed by robots pretending to be people as they attempt to rob you for their masters, we'll see the formation of cryptologically-secured enclaves. Maybe? Who knows? At this point I'm pretty much going to restrict online communication to encrypted authenticated channels. (Heck, I should sign this comment, eh? If only as a performance?) Hopefully it remains difficult to build an AI that can guess large numbers. ;P
