Introduced by Yuxuan Wang et al. in Tacotron: Towards End-to-End Speech Synthesis

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

CBHG is a building block used in the Tacotron text-to-speech model. It consists of a bank of 1-D convolutional filters, followed by highway networks and a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU).

The module is used to extract representations from sequences. The input sequence is first convolved with K sets of 1-D convolutional filters, where the k-th set contains Cₖ filters of width k (i.e. k = 1, 2, …, K). These filters explicitly model local and contextual information (akin to modeling unigrams, bigrams, up to K-grams). The convolution outputs are stacked together and further max pooled along time to increase local invariances. A stride of 1 is used to preserve the original time resolution. The processed sequence is further passed to a few fixed-width 1-D convolutions, whose outputs are added with the original input sequence via residual connections. Batch normalization is used for all convolutional layers. The convolution outputs are fed into a multi-layer highway network to extract high-level features. Finally, a bidirectional GRU RNN is stacked on top to extract sequential features from both forward and backward context.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (65 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
