RRC: Unlocking Generative Reward Models in LLM Reinforcement Learning via Ranking-Based Reward Construction

Chenglong Wang, Ziming Zhu, Yifu Huo +9

Recent advances in reward modeling show a paradigm shift from discriminative reward models to generative reward models. However, despite their strong capabilities in response ranki…

Wasserstein Evolution : Evolutionary Optimization as Phase Transition

Kaichen Ouyang, Mingyang Yu, Zong Ke +5

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) serve as powerful black-box optimizers inspired by biological evolution. However, most existing EAs predominantly focus on heuristic operators such as…

Comprehend and Talk: Text to Speech Synthesis via Dual Language Modeling

Junjie Cao, Yichen Han, Ruonan Zhang +5

Existing Large Language Model (LLM) based autoregressive (AR) text-to-speech (TTS) systems, while achieving state-of-the-art quality, still face critical challenges. The foundation…

Quantize More, Lose Less: Autoregressive Generation from Residually Quantized Speech Representations

Yichen Han, Xiaoyang Hao, Keming Chen +25

Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis has seen renewed progress under the discrete modeling paradigm. Existing autoregressive approaches often rely on single-codebook representations, whi…
