MSVAE: Rethinking Musical Semantics in Continuous Latent Spaces
Guobin Ma, Yuepeng Jiang, Dake Guo +15
Continuous latent representations underlie recent diffusion-based lyrics-to-song and text-to-music systems, yet aligning lyric conditions with these latents remains difficult: exis…
Rethinking Music Tokenization: A Semantic Codec toward High-Fidelity LLM Music Generation
Huakang Chen, Guobin Ma, Yuepeng Jiang +10
Discrete audio tokenization has become the critical interface between raw waveforms and autoregressive modeling in recent music generation. As a result, music tokenizers must simul…
Cross-Lingual F5-TTS 2: A Simplified Framework for Language-Agnostic Voice Cloning
Qingyu Liu, Rixi Xu, Yushen Chen +11
Zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) can clone a speaker's voice from a short audio prompt, yet most TTS systems still require the audio prompt transcript during inference. This dependen…
Realtime-Venus: A full-duplex interaction system with asynchronous delegation
Ant Group, Ruixiang Zhao, Hualei Wang +25
Natural interaction in digital and physical environments requires continuous perception and timely responses. Spoken dialogue relies on acoustic and linguistic cues, while video in…
MeanVC 2: Robust Low-Latency Streaming Zero-Shot Voice Conversion
Guobin Ma, Yuxuan Xia, Yuepeng Jiang +6
Streaming zero-shot voice conversion (VC) has become increasingly popular due to its potential for real-time applications. The recently proposed MeanVC achieves lightweight streami…
S2Accompanist: A Semantic-Aware and Structure-Guided Diffusion Model for Music Accompaniment Generation
Huakang Chen, Wenkai Cheng, Guobin Ma +7
High-fidelity text-to-music generation typically relies on massive proprietary datasets and immense computational resources. Existing models often struggle to generate coherent pur…
SoulX-Singer: Towards High-Quality Zero-Shot Singing Voice Synthesis
Jiale Qian, Hao Meng, Tian Zheng +17
While recent years have witnessed rapid progress in speech synthesis, open-source singing voice synthesis (SVS) systems still face significant barriers to industrial deployment, pa…
Semantic-VAE: Semantic-Alignment Latent Representation for Better Speech Synthesis
Zhikang Niu, Shujie Hu, Jeongsoo Choi +8
Mel-spectrograms have been widely used in zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS); their inherent redundancy leads to inefficiency in text-speech alignment. Compact VAE-based latent represe…
Cross-Lingual F5-TTS: Towards Language-Agnostic Voice Cloning and Speech Synthesis
Qingyu Liu, Yushen Chen, Zhikang Niu +7
Flow-matching-based text-to-speech (TTS) models have shown high-quality speech synthesis. However, most current flow-matching-based TTS models still rely on reference transcripts c…
