LJSpeech-1.1 High-Resolution Dataset (48,000 Hz)
|
5 |
+
|
6 |
+
Overview
|
7 |
+
|
8 |
+
The LJSpeech-1.1 dataset, widely recognized for its utility in text-to-speech (TTS) and other speech processing tasks, has now been enhanced through a cutting-edge speech super-resolution algorithm. The original dataset, which featured a sampling rate of 22,050 Hz, has been upscaled to 48,000 Hz, providing a high-fidelity version suitable for advanced audio processing tasks.
|

+
Original Dataset
|
23 |
+
|
24 |
+
- Source: The original LJSpeech-1.1 dataset contains 13,100 audio clips of a single female speaker reading passages from public domain books.
|
25 |
+
|
26 |
+
- Duration: Approximately 24 hours of speech data.
|
27 |
+
|
28 |
+
- Annotations: Each audio clip is paired with a corresponding text transcript.
|
29 |
+
|
30 |
+
Super-Resolution Processing
|
31 |
+
|
32 |
+
The original 22,050 Hz audio recordings were processed using a state-of-the-art MossFormer2-based speech super-resolution model. This model employs:
|
33 |
+
|
34 |
+
- Advanced Neural Architectures: A combination of transformer-based sequence modeling and convolutional networks.
|
35 |
+
|
36 |
+
- Perceptual Optimization: Loss functions designed to preserve the naturalness and clarity of speech.
|
37 |
+
|
38 |
+
- High-Frequency Reconstruction: Algorithms specifically tuned to recover lost high-frequency components, ensuring smooth and artifact-free enhancement.
|
