Enhancing Flow Matching with A Unified Guidance Framework for Efficient and Robust Speech Synthesis
arXiv:2607.00363v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow Matching (FM) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for speech generation but remains constrained by high inference latency and timbre leakage. To address these bottlenecks, we propose a unified guidance framework that enhances generation efficiency and robustness through two complementary strategies. On the data front, we introduce Data-guidance via heterogeneous augmentation, encouraging the model to disentangle linguistic content from acoustic residue. In parallel, we propose an enhanced Model-guidance mechanism that synergizes trajectory
The paper addresses current limitations in Flow Matching for speech generation, specifically high inference latency and timbre leakage, suggesting ongoing research efforts to refine this powerful paradigm.
Improved speech synthesis efficiency and robustness can accelerate AI agent development, enhance human-computer interaction, and reduce computational requirements for advanced AI applications.
The proposed unified guidance framework introduces methodologies that could make speech generation more practical for real-time applications and better integrate AI-powered voice synthesis.
