英文摘要:Human voice generation has made rapid progress in speech generation, singing voice generation, voice cloning, and voice editing. However, most existing systems are designed for specific tasks and often rely on task-dependent architectures, control signals, or autoregressive decoding, limiting fine-grained controllability and inference efficiency. In this paper, we propose CookVoice, a unified framework for multimodal, multi-style, and multi-task human voice generation. CookVoice decomposes the human voice into three key factors: content, prosody, and style, enabling both speech and singing voice generation within a unified model. To achieve precise and flexible controllability, we design a flexible alignment strategy that maps text, style, and prosody control signals onto the frame-level of spectrogram. This design allows CookVoice to support a wide range of tasks, including text-to-speech, text-to-singing voice, style-controllable generation, voice mimicry, voice conversion, and voice editing. Experimental results show that CookVoice achieves generation quality comparable to existing Text-to-Speech and text-to-singing voice baselines, while providing stronger style and prosody controllability. Moreover, CookVoice achieves comparable performance to large-scale baselines with only 43.51 million parameters and efficient inference using as few as 4 ODE steps, making it a practical solution for real-world human voice generation applications.

英文摘要:Modern text-to-speech (TTS) is dominated by autoregressive (AR) codec language models, whose left-to-right decoding brings latency that grows with utterance length, error accumulation along the committed prefix, and an artificial generation order imposed on the Residual Vector Quantization (RVQ) token grid. We propose Luna-TTS Family, diffusion-language-model-based TTS systems pretrained on 1 million hours of speech across Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. The family is built by progressive adaptation of a pretrained AR text LLM, from causal to bidirectional and finally to block-causal attention, and comprises two variants sharing a single tokenizer, data pipeline, and 0.6B backbone lineage. Luna-TTS is fully non-autoregressive: it generates the entire RVQ token grid in a fixed number of parallel refinement steps, with zero-shot voice cloning and speech editing arising natively as infilling. Luna-TTS Realtime, derived by continual training, is autoregressive over blocks of 32 codec frames (1.28s) while denoising each block in parallel; it supports KV-cached blockwise generation and incremental audio delivery, achieving an end-to-end RTF of 0.0240 and 41.6 ms local first-block latency under the warmed serving protocol. An annealed fine-tuning stage adds explicit control over emotion and non-verbal vocalizations (NVVs), and a reinforcement-learning stage applies GRPO with policy ratios computed over the realized denoising trajectory. On Seed-TTS-Eval, Luna-TTS achieves the best results on all four metrics among compared open-source and commercial systems (0.73 CER / 79.7 SIM on test-zh, 1.49 WER / 76.8 SIM on test-en); on the harder in-the-wild CV3-Eval, it posts the lowest Mandarin and English error rates in our comparison. Against leading commercial systems, it achieves the best results on most objective, model-based, and human-rated metrics for NVV and emotion control.

英文摘要:Recent advances in zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) have substantially improved speech quality and voice cloning fidelity. However, many zero-shot TTS systems still depend on audio prompt transcripts at inference time. This dependency limits cross-lingual voice cloning, since in-the-wild reference audio is often untranscribed. In this technical report, we present Confucius4-TTS, a multilingual zero-shot TTS system that supports 14 languages and performs both intra-lingual and cross-lingual reference cloning without requiring transcripts of audio prompts. Confucius4-TTS follows a two-stage architecture, consisting of text-to-semantic (T2S) and semantic-to-acoustic (S2A) modules. The LLM-based T2S module uses a learnable speaker encoder to extract timbre features from self-supervised speech representations, and the conditional flow-matching S2A module converts the predicted semantic tokens into mel-spectrograms. The same model also supports continuation cloning when a reference transcript is available. Confucius4-TTS is trained on large-scale multilingual speech data. It achieves high intelligibility and speaker similarity on public benchmarks. On the CV3-Eval cross-lingual benchmark, Confucius4-TTS obtains an average WER of 3.73% across six directions. On our internal cross-lingual set, it achieves the best average overall rank in human evaluation among recent open-source and commercial systems. We release code, model checkpoints, and demos at https://github.com/netease-youdao/Confucius4-TTS.

英文摘要:In current zero-shot text-to-speech systems, conventional semantic tokenizers are typically optimized using supervised automatic speech recognition or self-supervised learning objectives. However, due to the inherent nature of speech, semantic and acoustic information cannot be completely decoupled, and ASR-based tokenizers discard acoustic details to focus on linguistic content; models relying on them usually struggle to achieve optimal speaker similarity. Furthermore, these tokenizers are optimized independently and lack direct supervision from downstream acoustic generation tasks. This isolated training creates a feature gap between the extracted discrete tokens and the continuous space required by acoustic models, fundamentally bottlenecking the upper bound of synthesis quality. To bridge this gap, we propose Phoenix TTS, a unified framework that tightly couples representation learning with generative acoustic modeling. Specifically, our speech tokenizer is optimized to reconstruct self-supervised features to maintain semantic richness, while simultaneously receiving direct supervision from a Flow Matching training loss. Through this joint training paradigm, the extracted discrete tokens successfully preserve essential semantic information and natively align with the feature space of the downstream Flow Matching model. Comprehensive evaluations highlight the efficiency and effectiveness of Phoenix TTS. Trained on 110K hours of data, the system achieves excellent speech intelligibility, yielding WER that consistently falls below that of ground-truth recordings. Simultaneously, it maintains robust zero-shot speaker similarity, rivaling or outperforming several prominent large-scale baselines. Furthermore, as an advantageous byproduct of this unified training, the learned tokenizer can be seamlessly adapted to zero-shot voice conversion tasks without requiring task-specific fine-tuning.

英文摘要:We present RT-SEMamba, a fully causal speech enhancement (SE) model built upon causal time-frequency Mamba blocks. Unlike Transformer-based architectures that rely on a growing key-value cache, Mamba propagates a fixed-size recurrent state per layer, enabling memory- and bandwidth-efficient long-form inference. We further introduce a progressive knowledge distillation (KD) strategy that compresses an 8-layer teacher into a shallow 1-layer student by jointly distilling complex spectral outputs and intermediate representations. On Voicebank-DEMAND, the 8-layer RT-SEMamba achieves 3.32 PESQ with a 25 ms algorithmic latency constraint, and the distilled 1-layer student improves over a naive 1-layer baseline from 3.06 to 3.18 PESQ while preserving the same steady-state RTF, delivering a 2.75x speedup over the teacher. These results demonstrate that state-space models with progressive KD provide a competitive quality-latency trade-off for real-time SE.

英文摘要:Video-to-music generation has drawn growing interest for its role in conveying the emotion of visual media, including film. Progress in the field, however, is hampered by a reproducibility gap: models are often trained on crawled corpora referenced through YouTube URLs that may be deleted, with the underlying data often difficult and time-consuming to retrieve. To address this, we introduce the Open Screen Soundtrack Library version 2 (OSSL-v2), a self-hosted corpus of 34,343 video clips totaling 246.4 hours, sourced from public-domain films. Unlike crawled corpora, OSSL-v2 is reproducible (i.e., not subject to link rot) and copyright-conscious, yet still large enough to train functional video-to-music models. We then use this film-domain corpus to study dialogue as a conditioning signal for video-to-music generation, motivated by the close temporal coupling between film music and on-screen speech. Specifically, we augment existing models' video cross-attention with a time axis and modulate it frame-by-frame with the dialogue track. Evaluated on both public-domain and commercial films, our approach shows improvement over the state-of-the-art baselines. The dataset is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/McAuley-Lab/OSSL-v2.

英文摘要:A common approach to adding audio to a vision-language model is to train or adapt a large omni-modal system. We show that a lightweight alternative can be highly effective for music audio-visual question answering (AVQA). Qwen-MusicAVQA-7B connects a frozen Whisper encoder to Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct through learned linear projections. The same frozen encoder processes both the video's music track and a TTS-spoken question through separate projectors, while the language model fuses visual frames, music, and question audio through pretrained self-attention, with no task-specific fusion network. On MUSIC-AVQA, our system reaches 96.0% +/- 3.9% accuracy across three independent training seeds on the 7,402-question available-video test subset. Our central finding is that downstream accuracy tracks how much fine-grained local temporal information the audio representation preserves. In a matched 32-token comparison, a stride-pooled Whisper frame sequence outperforms a globally pooled PANNs representation expanded to the same budget by 26 percentage points, even though PANNs sees at least as much audio and uses a far larger projector. The effect is not simply sequence versus vector: within Whisper alone, reducing temporal resolution at a fixed token budget costs a comparable amount. Under matched data and inputs, fine-tuned Qwen2.5-Omni-7B reaches 80.9%, against 95.9% for our 30 s variant; because the systems differ in backbone and adaptation, this is a system-level comparison. Accuracy remains high on sampled head and tail splits of the rephrased MUSIC-AVQA-R benchmark (96.5% and 95.6%). Because both encoders stay frozen and the music features are cached, the entire adaptation is cheap to train: the complete two-stage AVQA run takes approximately 5 hours on a single A100 80GB, and every run reported here fits on that one GPU.

英文摘要:Long-form song generation models continue to improve in duration, structural integrity, and acoustic complexity, making reliable aesthetic rewards increasingly important for aligning these models with human preferences. However, reward models for complete songs remain limited, and existing evaluators typically predict scores in a single forward pass without providing readable explanations. We introduce MUSECRITIC, a semi-scalar reward model that generates a natural-language critique covering five aesthetic dimensions and uses it as an intermediate representation to predict continuous reward scores. MUSECRITIC follows a two-stage training pipeline: a teacher model first provides high-quality critiques for supervised fine-tuning, after which the fine-tuned model generates its own critiques for reward learning, mitigating distribution shift between training and inference. On an in-domain test set of 200 SongEval songs, MUSECRITIC reduces macro-averaged mean squared error from 0.2875 to 0.2316 and improves macro-averaged LCC, SRCC, and Kendall's tau to 0.9068, 0.8838, and 0.7178, respectively. On the out-of-domain Music Arena benchmark with 733 preference pairs, it achieves the highest accuracy of 71.35%. Moreover, using MUSECRITIC with GRPO improves Muse-0.6B on all nine aesthetic metrics from SongEval and Audiobox Aesthetics. These results demonstrate that critique-conditioned reward modeling reduces scoring error and provides an effective optimization signal for song generation.

英文摘要:Prompted attribute agreement is widely used as evidence of text-to-music controllability, yet a requested attribute may occur simply because it is already common in the model's output distribution. We introduce a matched counterfactual evaluation that separates target occurrence from instruction-attributable control. Each family contains a neutral input that omits the scored attribute and two otherwise matched inputs that swap the requested target. All three are rendered through frozen native-interface adapters with a shared seed. Applied to global key and beat grouping in three open systems, this design changes the empirical conclusion. ACE-Step 1.5 and Stable Audio 3 Medium exhibit substantial key control, whereas LeVo2 does not. For beat grouping, the same models redirect toward the rare three-beat target, but high four-beat agreement is largely inherited from neutral outputs: Stable Audio 3 produces four-beat grouping in 0.97 of neutral cases but only 0.56 under its explicit four-beat treatment. Off-attribute placebos, external recognizer validation, blind expert annotation, and multi-seed sentinels support the attribution. When targets have unequal output priors, agreement describes what a model produced, while matched neutral and target-swap contrasts test whether the instruction changed it.
