Reference-Driven Multi-Speaker Audio Scene Generation from In-the-Wild Priors

arXiv:2606. 19325v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing multi-speaker dialogue systems bind speakers to utterances through structured supervision: per-turn tags, multi-stream transcriptions, or learnable speaker embeddings.

Vorch-Human: Unified Multi-Task Human-Centric Generation via Long-Horizon Continuation

Vorch-Human is a unified framework for human‑centric audio‑visual generation that handles multiple tasks—animating a person from speech, jointly generating speech and video from a voice reference, and synthesizing a scene from paired appearance and voice references—using a single dual‑stream audio‑video diffusion transformer. The model incorporates clean condition‑audio and condition‑video tokens, per‑token task embeddings, temporal position types, condition masks, and a shared multimodal prompt encoder to express diverse inputs such as driving speech, timbre examples, first frames, and subject images. A two‑level data pipeline supplies the necessary supervision by extracting speech, appearance, and timbre annotations from clips and linking consistent identity and outfit references across videos, while a frozen‑prefix recurrence enables long‑form audio‑driven generation with reduced boundary discontinuity and identity drift.

Efficient ASR Training with Conversations that Never Happened

Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data. We propose an augmentation pipeline that generates scenario-level dialogues with participant metadata, maps speaker attributes to TTS voice profiles, and assembles synthesized utterances into speaker-aware simulated conversations.

Alignment-Free Text-Audiobox for Voice Dubbing and Full-Duplex Dialogue Synthesis

The paper introduces Alignment-Free Text‑Audiobox (Text‑AB), a unified diffusion‑based framework that performs high‑quality voice dubbing and full‑duplex dialogue synthesis without requiring forced alignment. Text‑AB uses a latent diffusion model with DAC‑VAE features, achieving over 10× compression compared to prior EnCodec representations, and learns text‑speech alignment via cross‑attention. The authors pretrain a 3B‑parameter model on 480k hours of monolingual speech and fine‑tune it for cross‑lingual dubbing, full‑duplex dialogue, and emotional dialogue, reporting significant improvements in prosody, voice similarity, naturalness, and emotional expressivity over existing internal systems.
