...At the center is HeartMuLa, a music language model that generates music conditioned on inputs like lyrics and tags, with multilingual support that broadens the range of lyric-driven use cases. The project also includes HeartCodec, a music codec optimized for high reconstruction fidelity, enabling efficient tokenization and reconstruction workflows that are critical for training and generation pipelines. For text extraction from audio, it provides HeartTranscriptor, a Whisper-based model tuned specifically for lyrics transcription, which helps bridge generated or recorded audio back into structured text. ...

We introduce a language modeling approach for text to speech synthesis (TTS). Specifically, we train a neural codec language model (called VALL-E) using discrete codes derived from an off-the-shelf neural audio codec model, and regard TTS as a conditional language modeling task rather than continuous signal regression as in previous work. During the pre-training stage, we scale up the TTS training data to 60K hours of English speech which is hundreds of times larger than existing systems. ...
