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…

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.…

Audio-DeepThinker: Progressive Reasoning-Aware Reinforcement Learning for High-Quality Chain-of-Thought Emergence in Audio Language Models

Xiang He, Chenxing Li, Jinting Wang +5

Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) have made significant progress in audio understanding, yet they primarily operate as perception-and-answer systems without explicit reasoning pr…

Boosting ASR Robustness via Test-Time Reinforcement Learning with Audio-Text Semantic Rewards

Linghan Fang, Tianxin Xie, Li Liu

Recently, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems (e.g., Whisper) have achieved remarkable accuracy improvements but remain highly sensitive to real-world unseen data (data with…

AG-REPA: Causal Layer Selection for Representation Alignment in Audio Flow Matching

Pengfei Zhang, Tianxin Xie, Minghao Yang +1

REPresentation Alignment (REPA) improves the training of generative flow models by aligning intermediate hidden states with pretrained teacher features, but its effectiveness in to…

Resp-Agent: An Agent-Based System for Multimodal Respiratory Sound Generation and Disease Diagnosis

Pengfei Zhang, Tianxin Xie, Minghao Yang +1

Deep learning-based respiratory auscultation is currently hindered by two fundamental challenges: (i) inherent information loss, as converting signals into spectrograms discards tr…

PhyAVBench: A Challenging Audio Physics-Sensitivity Benchmark for Physically Grounded Text-to-Audio-Video Generation

Tianxin Xie, Wentao Lei, Kai Jiang +27

Text-to-audio-video (T2AV) generation is central to applications such as filmmaking and world modeling. However, current models often fail to produce physically plausible sounds. P…

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…

Towards Controllable Speech Synthesis in the Era of Large Language Models: A Systematic Survey

Tianxin Xie, Yan Rong, Pengfei Zhang +2

Text-to-speech (TTS) has advanced from generating natural-sounding speech to enabling fine-grained control over attributes like emotion, timbre, and style. Driven by rising industr…
