The obvious question would be a head-to-head qualitative comparison vs. WaveNet. It seems that they have advanced siri vs. siri prior, but does this work advance the field?

in terms of being feasible to actually use in production? Yes. It runs realtime locally on a mobile device at 48khz 16bit. WaveNet doesn't run realtime even on a desktop GPU at 16khz 8bit.

The WaveNet method of predicting the output sample by sample yields great results but at a very high computational cost
