SwiftAudio: Data-Efficient Caption-Only Distillation for One-Step Text-to-Audio Diffusion-based Generation

arXiv:2606. 31259v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based text-to-audio (TTA) models achieve impressive synthesis quality but suffer from high inference latency due to iterative multi-step denoising.

MeanVoiceFlow2: Joint Optimization of Mean Flow and Content Encoder for Fast One-Step Zero-Shot Voice Conversion

MeanVoiceFlow2 is a new voice conversion framework that jointly optimizes a flow-based conversion module and a computationally efficient content encoder. It is trained via conversion distillation from MeanVoiceFlow and real data reconstruction, and further enhanced with diffusion-GAN training, sample mixing, and teacher-guided conditioning augmentation. Experiments on zero-shot voice conversion show that MeanVoiceFlow2 delivers higher perceptual quality and about nine times faster inference than its predecessor while preserving speaker similarity.

Towards Unified Song Generation and Singing Voice Conversion with Accompaniment Co-Generation

arXiv:2606. 07015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While song generation and singing voice conversion (SVC) have evolved significantly, they have long been developed isolated: the former lacks zero-shot speaker cloning, while the latter overlooks vocal-accompaniment synergy.
