The voice-controlled, transforming robot is an objectively cool toy, but a little less than meets the eye in the sound department.

Although deep neural networks have facilitated significant progress of neural vocoders in recent years, they usually suffer from intrinsic challenges like opaque modeling, inflexible retraining under ...

Abstract: While transformers demonstrate outstanding performance across various audio tasks, their application to neural vocoders remains challenging. Neural vocoders require the generation of long ...
