BareWave: Waveform-Native Flow-Matching Text-to-Speech
arXiv:2606. 09048v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Removing intermediate representations and separately trained decoding stages has become an important direction in generative modeling.
arXiv:2603. 01006v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: REPresentation Alignment (REPA) improves the training of generative flow models by aligning intermediate hidden states with pretrained teacher features, but its effectiveness in token-conditioned audio Flow Matching critically depends on the choice of supervised layers, which is typically made heuristically based on the depth.

arXiv:2607. 09134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Representation alignment (REPA) has been investigated to accelerate diffusion training, but we observe that regularizing intermediate representations in diffusion Transformers (DiT) may implicitly entangle latents and limit generative capacity.
arXiv:2607. 06831v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech-to-text alignment means finding the temporal boundaries of each word in the audio.
arXiv:2606. 10368v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech-to-text (S2T) systems for recognition (ASR) and translation (S2TT) typically generate discrete text tokens.
arXiv:2608. 15690v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-audio-video (T2AV) generation models produce a video and its soundtrack from a textual description, but offer no control over whose voice speaks in the output.
arXiv:2606. 07080v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present dots.
arXiv:2607. 00363v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow Matching (FM) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for speech generation but remains constrained by high inference latency and timbre leakage.
arXiv:2606. 01703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We address the challenge of generating high-fidelity, long-form soundtracks that remain coherent across scene transitions.
arXiv:2605. 22083v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While flow-matching text-to-speech (TTS) achieves strong zero-shot speaker similarity and naturalness, it remains susceptible to content fidelity issues, particularly skip and repeat errors from imperfect alignment.
arXiv:2607. 05196v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio intelligence involves understanding, reasoning about, and generating both audio and speech.
arXiv:2608. 13817v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human speech production is constrained by physiology, giving rise to characteristic temporal structure on acoustic signals.
arXiv:2601. 09239v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech tokenizers are a key building block of fully discrete Speech LLMs.
