arXiv:2606.07387v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State-of-the-art text-to-music generation systems rely on massive proprietary datasets and industrial-scale compute, making it impossible to disentangle architectural contributions from resource advantages. We propose \textit{score-aware training}, which treats audio-caption alignment score as a direct supervision signal throughout the pipeline. Rather than discarding low-scoring segments, we repurpose them via a CLAP-conditioned Beta noise timestep schedule that routes them to high-noise training regimes, acting as an effective implicit regulari
The proliferation of compute-intensive AI models and the increasing demand for high-quality synthetic media are driving innovation in data-efficient training methods.
This development could significantly lower the barrier to entry for developing advanced AI models, particularly in data-scarce domains, moving away from reliance on proprietary datasets and industrial-scale compute.
AI model development may become less dependent on vast, expensive datasets, enabling smaller players or research groups to achieve state-of-the-art results with more accessible resources.
