SEmoEdit: Probing and Harnessing the Editability of Pre-trained Speech Flows

Tianxin Xie, Pengfei Zhang, Kai Jiang +2

Existing training-based speech emotion editing methods often require substantial task-specific training and can be unstable. This motivates us to investigate whether the pretrained…

The Platonic brain bridge hypothesis: human brain networks as an architectural prior for multimodal large language models

Pengfei Zhang, Biao Tian, Xiangang Li +1

Multimodal large language models predict brain activity, but brain alignment has been a measurement, not a design tool. We propose the Platonic brain bridge hypothesis: omni models…

Listen, Do Not Copy: Internalizing Audio-Grounded Scaffold Context for Robust Omni-Model Speech Understanding

Pengfei Zhang, Biao Tian, Tianxin Xie +3

Omni models transcribe clean, single-speaker speech well, but their accuracy drops sharply when speakers overlap and the scene is noisy, exactly where knowing who said what matters…

VoiceTTA: Enhancing Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech via Reinforcement Learning-Based Test-Time Adaptation

Tianxin Xie, Chenxing Li, Dong Yu +1

Recently, zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) has enabled high-fidelity and expressive speech synthesis, but it often fails to imitate unseen speaking styles from uncommon scenarios (e.…

EmoSteer-TTS: Fine-Grained and Training-Free Emotion-Controllable Text-to-Speech via Activation Steering

Tianxin Xie, Shan Yang, Chenxing Li +2

Text-to-speech (TTS) has shown great progress in recent years. However, most existing TTS systems offer only coarse and rigid emotion control, typically via discrete emotion labels…

Seeing Your Speech Style: A Novel Zero-Shot Identity-Disentanglement Face-based Voice Conversion

Yan Rong, Li Liu

Face-based Voice Conversion (FVC) is a novel task that leverages facial images to generate the target speaker's voice style. Previous work has two shortcomings: (1) suffering from…
