• Abstract: Existing audio-text retrieval (ATR) methods are essentially discriminative models that aim to maximize the conditional likelihood, represented as p(candidates|query). Nevertheless, this methodology fails to consider the intrinsic data distribution p(query), leading to difficulties in discerning out-of-distribution data. In this work, we attempt to tackle this constraint through a generative perspective and model the relationship between audio and text as their joint probability p(candidates,query). To this end, we present a diffusion-based ATR framework (DiffATR), which models ATR as an iterative procedure that progressively generates joint distribution from noise. Throughout its training phase, DiffATR is optimized from both generative and discriminative viewpoints: the generator is refined through a generation loss, while the feature extractor benefits from a contrastive loss, thus combining the merits of both methodologies. Experiments on the AudioCaps and Clotho datasets with superior performances, verify the effectiveness of our approach. Notably, without any alterations, our DiffATR consistently exhibits strong performance in out-of-domain retrieval settings.

  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.

  We reformulate the SED problem by taking a generative learning perspective. Specifically, we aim to generate sound temporal boundaries from noisy proposals in a denoising diffusion process. During training, our model learns to reverse the noising process by converting noisy latent queries to the groundtruth versions.

  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.

  Two prominent generative models, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs) GANs suffer from unstable optimization, while VAEs are prone to posterior collapse and over-smoothed generations. We present a conditional denoising diffusion model, which includes a sequence encoder, a cross-attentive denoising decoder, and a step-wise diffuser.

  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.
