WaveVAE is a generative audio model that can be used as a vocoder in text-to-speech systems. It is a VAE based model that can be trained from scratch by jointly optimizing the encoder q_ϕ(𝐳|𝐱, 𝐜) and decoder p_θ(𝐱|𝐳, 𝐜), where 𝐳 is latent variables and 𝐜 is the mel spectrogram conditioner.

The encoder of WaveVAE q_ϕ(𝐳|𝐱) is parameterized by a Gaussian autoregressive WaveNet that maps the ground truth audio x into the same length latent representation 𝐳. The decoder p_θ(𝐱|𝐳) is parameterized by the one-step ahead predictions from an inverse autoregressive flow.

The training objective is the ELBO for the observed 𝐱 in the VAE.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (2 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).
