Spot, Separate, and Enhance (SSE) is a multimodal, user‑guided generative model for audio remixing and enhancement. It rebalances audio, removes unwanted sources, and reduces reverberation using video and textual guidance. The authors introduce the DegradedMix dataset and adopt generative evaluation metrics, showing SSE outperforms existing baselines in controllability and remixing quality.

Spot, Separate, and Enhance (SSE) is the first multimodal, user‑guided generative model for audio remixing and enhancement. It rebalances audio, removes unwanted sources, and reduces reverberation in video content, guided by both video and textual descriptions. The authors introduce the DegradedMix dataset, built on MuddyMix, and use generative‑model evaluation metrics to demonstrate SSE’s superior controllability and remixing quality compared to existing baselines.
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.

Flow-matching approaches to voice conversion (VC) have gained attention owing to their high speech quality and strong speaker similarity. Among them, one-step models such as MeanVoiceFlow are particul...
