Researchers have developed SEAM, a novel method for initializing text-to-speech (TTS) models that significantly reduces the need for training data. SEAM constructs embeddings for new vocabulary from existing sub-tokens using spectral filtering and ridge regression, preserving phonetic order. This approach achieves performance comparable to traditional methods with up to 75% less training data across multiple languages and TTS architectures, offering a more efficient solution for low-resource speech synthesis.
