TVPara: Paralinguistic Captioning of Expressive TV-Series Speech in Complex Acoustic Environments

Ziyang Zhang, Wenyi Yu, Wen Wu +2

Large audio-language models (LALMs) struggle to parse paralinguistics (e.g., emotion, pace, pitch) in speech that combines intense emotion with complex acoustic environments. Stren…

MMAG: A Multi-Control Mixed Audio Generation Benchmark

Zihao Zheng, Xuenan Xu, Jiahao Mei +5

Recent audio generation systems have progressed from single-modality synthesis to generating complex acoustic scenes containing speech, music, and sound effects. Therefore, evaluat…

AuDirector: A Self-Reflective Closed-Loop Framework for Immersive Audio Storytelling

Yiming Ren, Xuenan Xu, Ziyang Zhang +3

Despite advances in text and visual generation, creating coherent long-form audio narratives remains challenging. Existing frameworks often exhibit limitations such as mismatched c…

CAST-TTS: A Simple Cross-Attention Framework for Unified Timbre Control in TTS

Zihao Zheng, Wen Wu, Chao Zhang +2

Current Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems typically use separate models for speech-prompted and text-prompted timbre control. While unifying both control signals into a single model is…

HoliAntiSpoof: Audio LLM for Holistic Speech Anti-Spoofing

Xuenan Xu, Yiming Ren, Liwei Liu +5

Recent advances in speech synthesis and editing have made speech spoofing increasingly challenging. However, most existing methods treat spoofing as binary classification, overlook…

MMEDIT: A Unified Framework for Multi-Type Audio Editing via Audio Language Model

Ye Tao, Wen Wu, Chao Zhang +3

Text-guided audio editing aims to modify specific acoustic events while strictly preserving non-target content. Despite recent progress, existing approaches remain fundamentally li…

PicoAudio2: Temporal Controllable Text-to-Audio Generation with Natural Language Description

Zihao Zheng, Zeyu Xie, Xuenan Xu +3

While recent work in controllable text-to-audio (TTA) generation has achieved fine-grained control through timestamp conditioning, its scope remains limited by audio quality and in…

Bayesian Speech Synthesizers Can Learn from Multiple Teachers

Ziyang Zhang, Yifan Gao, Xuenan Xu +3

Text-to-speech (TTS) is a "one-to-many" problem: one text can be spoken in many valid ways, so its realizations form a distribution whose spread depends on the input. Most TTS mode…

UniFlow-Audio: Unified Flow Matching for Audio Generation from Omni-Modalities

Xuenan Xu, Jiahao Mei, Zihao Zheng +9

Audio generation, including speech, music and sound effects, has advanced rapidly in recent years. These tasks can be divided into two categories: time-aligned (TA) tasks, where ea…

Can Audio Large Language Models Verify Speaker Identity?

Yiming Ren, Xuenan Xu, Baoxiang Li +2

This paper investigates adapting Audio Large Language Models (ALLMs) for speaker verification (SV). We reformulate SV as an audio question-answering task and conduct comprehensive…
