• Title: ConsistencyTTA: Accelerating Diffusion-Based Text-to-Audio Generation with Consistency Distillation
• Authors: Yatong Bai, Trung Dang, Dung Tran, Kazuhito Koishida, Somayeh Sojoudi,
• Abstract summary: Diffusion models suffer from slow inference due to an excessive number of queries to the underlying denoising network per generation. We introduce ConsistencyTTA, a framework requiring only a single non-autoregressive network query. We achieve so by proposing "CFG-aware latent consistency model," which adapts consistency generation into a latent space.

• Abstract: Diffusion models are instrumental in text-to-audio (TTA) generation. Unfortunately, they suffer from slow inference due to an excessive number of queries to the underlying denoising network per generation. To address this bottleneck, we introduce ConsistencyTTA, a framework requiring only a single non-autoregressive network query, thereby accelerating TTA by hundreds of times. We achieve so by proposing "CFG-aware latent consistency model," which adapts consistency generation into a latent space and incorporates classifier-free guidance (CFG) into model training. Moreover, unlike diffusion models, ConsistencyTTA can be finetuned closed-loop with audio-space text-aware metrics, such as CLAP score, to further enhance the generations. Our objective and subjective evaluation on the AudioCaps dataset shows that compared to diffusion-based counterparts, ConsistencyTTA reduces inference computation by 400x while retaining generation quality and diversity.

  This paper thoroughly analyzes text diffusion models and uncovers two significant limitations: degradation of self-conditioning during training and misalignment between training and sampling. Motivated by our findings, we propose a novel Text Diffusion model called TREC, which mitigates the degradation with Reinforced Conditioning and the misalignment by Time-Aware Variance Scaling.

  The diffusion model is capable of generating high-quality data through a probabilistic approach. It suffers from the drawback of slow generation speed due to the requirement of a large number of time steps. We propose a speech synthesis model with two discriminators: a diffusion discriminator for learning the distribution of the reverse process and a spectrogram discriminator for learning the distribution of the generated data.

  Existing models are trained on clean data, which causes a textitgap between clean data training and real-world inference. We propose a method from the perspective of domain adaptation, by which both high- and low-quality samples are embedding into similar vector space. Experiments on the widely-used dataset, Snips, and large scale in-house dataset (10 million training examples) demonstrate that this method not only outperforms the baseline models on real-world (noisy) corpus but also enhances the robustness, that is, it produces high-quality results under a noisy environment.
