Modeling, Scaling, and Decoding: Optimizing Controllable Speech Generation with Nonverbal Vocalizations

Controllable synthesis of nonverbal vocalizations (NVVs) is es- sential for natural and expressive speech, but remains challeng- ing due to their acoustic diversity and imbalanced distribution in existing corpora. To address these challenges, we develop an NVV-aware DiTAR system that models continuous speech latents, e...
