<h2>1. Abstract<a name="abstract"></a></h2>
<p>This paper describes a variational auto-encoder based non-autoregressive text-to-speech (VAENAR-TTS) model. The autoregressive TTS (AR-TTS) models based on the sequence-to-sequence architecture can generate high-quality speech, but their sequential decoding process can be time-consuming. Recently, non-autoregressive TTS (NAR-TTS) models have been shown to be more efficient with the parallel decoding process. However, these NAR-TTS models rely on phoneme-level durations to generate a hard alignment between the text and the spectrogram. Obtaining duration labels, either through force-alignment or knowledge distillation, is cumbersome. Furthermore, hard alignment based on phoneme expansion can degrade the naturalness of the synthesized speech. In contrast, the proposed model of VAENAR-TTS is an end-to-end approach that does not require phoneme-level duration. VAENAR-TTS model does not contain recurrent structures and is completely non-autoregressive in both the training and inference phase. Based on the VAE architecture, the alignment information is encoded in the latent variable, and the attention-based soft alignment between the text and the latent variable is used in the decoder to reconstruct the spectrogram. Experiments show that VAENAR-TTS achieves state-of-the-art synthesis quality, while the synthesis speed is comparable with other NAR-TTS models.</p>
