arXiv – CS AI|Zhengyan Sheng, Zhihao Du, Shiliang Zhang, Zhijie Yan, Liping Chen|
πŸ€–AI Summary

Researchers introduce SyncSpeech, a new text-to-speech model that combines autoregressive and non-autoregressive approaches using a Temporal Mask Transformer architecture. The model achieves 5.8x lower first-packet latency and 8.8x improved real-time performance while maintaining comparable speech quality to existing models.

Key Takeaways
  • β†’SyncSpeech uses Temporal Mask Transformer (TMT) to unify ordered generation with parallel decoding efficiency
  • β†’The model achieves 5.8-fold reduction in first-packet latency compared to existing AR TTS models
  • β†’Real-time factor improves by 8.8 times while maintaining comparable speech quality
  • β†’The system can begin generating speech immediately upon receiving the second text token from streaming input
  • β†’A high-probability masking strategy enhances both training efficiency and overall model performance
