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.

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.

arXiv:2606. 09234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) text-to-speech (TTS) systems typically adopt a cascaded pipeline consisting of a speech tokenizer, an autoregressive large language model (LLM), and a diffusion based flow-matching (FM) model, with these components trained independently.

arXiv:2607. 27109v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the development of audio large language models (AudioLLMs), audio captioning needs to move from brief descriptions toward open-ended and fine-grained free-form descriptions.

arXiv:2606. 07387v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State-of-the-art text-to-music generation systems rely on massive proprietary datasets and industrial-scale compute, making it impossible to disentangle architectural contributions from resource advantages.

Existing multi-speaker dialogue systems bind speakers to utterances through structured supervision: per-turn tags, multi-stream transcriptions, or learnable speaker embeddings. These systems operate within speech-only pipelines that produce clean vocal sequences without the ambient texture of real conversations.
arXiv:2608. 13613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent breakthroughs in generative models have made text-to-voice generation (TTV) possible, enabling the synthesis of speech directly from textual voice descriptions.
