Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[2108.13320] Neural HMMs are all you need (for high-quality attention-free TTS)
It will be interesting to see if the artefacts you noticed persist once we've trained the model for longer and switch to a better vocoder such as HiFi-GAN. (The paper and audio examples use WaveGlow since that's the default of the repository we compared ourselves to.) That said, "choppiness" sounds to me like it might be related to the temporal evolution, in which case it's something that a non-causal, convolutional post-net might be able to smooth over.

The dangers of AI
Hey, as far as I know this paper is the current SoTA on public data that is open source. Github is here. If you are interested in really getting into speech synthesis, this page has everything (modern stuff on the bottom.)

OpenVoice: Versatile Instant Voice Cloning
I use Tortoise TTS. It's slow, a little clunky, and sometimes the output gets downright weird. But it's the best quality-oriented TTS I've found that I can run locally.

My Deep Learning Rig
It was primarily being used to train TTS models (see https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts), which largely fit into a single GPUs memory. So, for data parallelism, x8 PCIe isn't that much of a concern.

PlayHT2.0: State-of-the-Art Generative Voice AI Model for Conversational Speech
Previously TortoiseTTS was associated with PlayHT in some way, although the exact connection is a bit vague [0].
From the descriptions here it sounds a lot like AudioLM / SPEAR TTS / some of Meta's recent multilingual TTS approaches, although those models are not open source, sounds like PlayHT's approach is in a similar spirit. The discussion of "mel tokens" is closer to what I would call the classic TTS pipeline in many ways... PlayHT has generally been kind of closed about what they used, would be interesting to know more.
I assume the key factor here is high quality, emotive audio with good data cleaning processes. Probably not even a lot of data, at least in the scale of "a lot" in speech, e.g. ASR (millions of hours) or TTS (hundreds to thousands). As opposed to some radically new architectural piece never before seen in the literature, there are lots of really nice tools for emotive and expressive TTS buried in recent years of publications.
Tacotron 2 is perfectly capable of this type of stuff as well, as shown by Dessa [1] a few years ago (this writeup is a nice intro to TTS concepts). With the limit largely being, at some point you haven't heard certain phonetic sounds before in a voice, and need to do something to get plausible outcomes for new voices.

Show HN: Gdańsk AI – full stack AI voice chatbot (STT, LLM, TTS, auth, payments)
TorToiSe (https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts) produces the best quality speech of any freely available model. However, its long inference times makes it impractical for voice chatbots like Gdansk.
