SoundStorm - Efficient Parallel Audio Generation
Product Information
Key Features of SoundStorm - Efficient Parallel Audio Generation
SoundStorm is a model for efficient, non-autoregressive audio generation that produces high-quality audio two orders of magnitude faster than traditional autoregressive generation approaches.
Efficient Audio Generation
SoundStorm generates high-quality audio two orders of magnitude faster than traditional autoregressive generation approaches.
Dialogue Synthesis
SoundStorm can be used for dialogue synthesis by coupling it with the text-to-semantic modeling stage of SPEAR-TTS, allowing for the synthesis of high-quality, natural dialogues.
Detectable by Classifiers
SoundStorm-generated audio remains detectable by a dedicated classifier, with a detection rate of 98.5% using the same classifier as Borsos et al. (2022).
Non-Autoregressive Generation
SoundStorm uses bidirectional attention and confidence-based parallel decoding to generate the tokens of a neural audio codec.
High-Quality Audio
SoundStorm produces high-quality audio that is comparable to traditional autoregressive generation approaches.
Use Cases of SoundStorm - Efficient Parallel Audio Generation
Dialogue synthesis for chatbots and virtual assistants
Audio generation for music and sound effects
Speech synthesis for audiobooks and podcasts
Voice cloning for voice assistants and virtual reality applications
