Towards Unified Song Generation and Singing Voice Conversion with Accompaniment Co-Generation
Ziyu Zhang, Chunyu Qiang, Xiaopeng Wang +10
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 l…
Beyond Semantic Dominance: Cognitive Affective Reasoning and Empathetic Response Alignment in Audio Language Models
Zhixian Zhao, Shuiyuan Wang, Wenjie Tian +3
While Audio Language Models (ALMs) demonstrate strong semantic understanding, they struggle with complex affective interactions. Specifically, textual semantic dominance often over…
UniSonate: A Unified Model for Speech, Music, and Sound Effect Generation with Text Instructions
Chunyu Qiang, Xiaopeng Wang, Kang Yin +11
Generative audio modeling has largely been fragmented into specialized tasks, text-to-speech (TTS), text-to-music (TTM), and text-to-audio (TTA), each operating under heterogeneous…
Seeing the Context: Rich Visual Context-Aware Speech Recognition via Multimodal Reasoning
Wenjie Tian, Mingchen Shao, Bingshen Mu +8
Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) is an extension of ASR that incorporates visual signals. Current AVSR approaches primarily focus on lip motion, largely overlooking rich cont…
VoiceSculptor: Your Voice, Designed By You
Jingbin Hu, Huakang Chen, Linhan Ma +19
Despite rapid progress in text-to-speech (TTS), open-source systems still lack truly instruction-following, fine-grained control over core speech attributes (e.g., pitch, speaking…
HiStyle: Hierarchical Style Embedding Predictor for Text-Prompt-Guided Controllable Speech Synthesis
Ziyu Zhang, Hanzhao Li, Jingbin Hu +2
Controllable speech synthesis refers to the precise control of speaking style by manipulating specific prosodic and paralinguistic attributes, such as gender, volume, speech rate,…
