PROFILE

Ryan Langman

Contributed to NVIDIA/NeMo and NVIDIA/NeMo-speech-data-processor by building and refining text-to-speech (TTS) audio codec models, dataset ingestion pipelines, and evaluation frameworks. Developed Hugging Face integration for TTS codecs, streamlined model downloads, and improved onboarding through updated documentation and configuration management. Integrated the HiFiTTS-2 dataset with robust validation and Docker-based deployment, enhancing data reliability for downstream training. Refactored Magpie TTS for codec conversion and bandwidth extension, optimizing audio quality and maintainability. Enhanced evaluation robustness and CI stability by addressing test flakiness and improving metrics integrity. Leveraged Python, Docker, and PyTorch, focusing on audio processing, deep learning, and reproducible workflows.

Work History

April 2026

3 Commits • 2 Features

Apr 1, 2026

April 2026 NVIDIA/NeMo monthly summary: Delivered two major feature streams to advance TTS capabilities and strengthened evaluation/test reliability, driving both user-facing quality and CI stability. Key features delivered include a training-ready Semantic Audio Codec Model for TTS with configuration, architecture, and tests for functionality and performance, plus refinements to test coverage for additional model batch return values (PR #15524). Also rolled out Magpietts Evaluation Enhancements, adding normalized text input, support for relative paths in configuration, import guards, and extended test timeouts to improve robustness (PR #15608). Major bug fixes included stabilizing the codec CI by addressing end-to-end test failures (PR #15607). Additional maintenance work covered code quality improvements such as applying isort/black formatting and a refactor renaming the SLM decoder to predictor, improving clarity and maintainability.
