Researchers have developed DiTAR+, a dual-optimization framework to improve the stability and accuracy of autoregressive diffusion speech synthesis models. The framework addresses issues like pronunciation errors and semantic hallucinations in long utterances by introducing Dilated Context Sampling to expand the model's receptive field and Hierarchical Acoustic Masking to better decouple semantic alignment from acoustic reconstruction. Experiments show DiTAR+ significantly reduces word error rates and improves speaker similarity, outperforming existing baselines on challenging linguistic tasks and extended audio generation. AI
IMPACT Improves the robustness and accuracy of AI-driven speech synthesis, particularly for long and complex utterances.
