Language Model Aware Speech Tokenization (LAST): A Unique AI Method that Integrates a Pre-Trained Text Language Model into the Speech Tokenization Process

Introducing Language Model Aware Speech Tokenization (LAST): A Unique AI Method LAST integrates a pre-trained text language model into the speech tokenization process, enhancing the performance of speech-language models for tasks such as text-to-speech (TTS), speech-to-text (STT), and spoken-language modeling. Traditional speech tokenization methods may not align perfectly with the learning objectives of the language model, leading to reduced performance. LAST addresses this by incorporating a pre-trained text language model into the tokenization process, resulting in a more suitable feature space for speech language model grouping and representation. The benefits of LAST include improved voice tokenization, reduced chance of mismatch, and enhanced efficiency and performance in speech-to-text and spoken language modeling tasks. Additionally, LAST enables the interpretation of both speech and text inputs using a single pre-trained language model, streamlining the process and improving overall efficiency and performance. In conclusion, LAST represents a significant advancement over conventional methods, ensuring better alignment between the tokenization process and the language model's goals. By leveraging LAST, companies can enhance their competitiveness and efficiency in various tasks, including speech-to-text and spoken-language modeling.
