Responsibilities
- Research and develop advanced speech synthesis and generation algorithms (e.g., TTS, voice conversion, sound/music generation) based on LLMs, multimodal/omnimodal LLMs.
- Develop and optimize speech and audio synthesis systems for online applications, improving effectiveness, efficiency, and scalability.
- Explore and advance full-duplex/streaming multimodal LLM capabilities in speech understanding, generation, and real-time spoken interaction.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with research and engineering teams from prototyping to production.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, or a closely related field.
- Strong foundation in speech/audio processing and modern generative models (e.g., diffusion, flow matching, autoregressive, codec-based approaches).
- Hands-on experience extending LLMs to speech/audio modalities (e.g., speech tokenizers, multimodal adapters, speech-text joint training).
- Experience with full-duplex or streaming spoken dialogue systems and real-time interaction modeling is a plus.
- Proficient in Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch).
- Experience with distributed training is a plus.
- Track record of publications at top-tier venues (e.g., ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, ACL, ICASSP, Interspeech).
- Mandarin Chinese / Business-level Japanese or English
