Fully Differentiable Neural Forced Alignment via Soft Dynamic Programming
Paper โข 2606.25460 โข Published
Pretrained checkpoints for FALCON (Forced Alignment through Contrastive Optimization Networks), the neural forced aligner from the paper "Fully Differentiable Neural Forced Alignment via Soft Dynamic Programming" (arXiv:2606.25460).
| File | Trained on | Best for |
|---|---|---|
falcon_timit_english.pt |
TIMIT (read English) | English phoneme alignment |
falcon_buckeye_english.pt |
Buckeye (spontaneous English) | Spontaneous / conversational English |
falcon_joint_multilingual.pt |
Joint TIMIT+Buckeye | Cross-lingual / multilingual zero-shot alignment (Dutch, German, Hebrew, โฆ) at phoneme and word level |
Each checkpoint is a PyTorch state dict with the model hparams and the dill-serialized
peak-detection parameters. Load them with the FALCON code (predict.py / app.py), which
auto-downloads from this repo when HF_MODEL_REPO is set.
