Autoregressive vocoders have been ubiquitous for a majority of the history of speech processing, but for most of their existence they have lacked parallelism. MelGAN is a non-autoregressive, fully convolutional vocoder architecture used for purposes ranging from spectral inversion and speech enhancement to present-day state-of-the-art speech synthesis when used as a decoder with models like Tacotron2 or FastSpeech that convert text to mel spectrograms.
