- 适合想简化生成系统、追求高效高质语音合成的研究者。
分类器引导是一种通过噪声条件分类器控制扩散生成过程的方法,使其向目标类别收敛。其缺点是需要独立训练分类器和扩散模型。为此,本文提出一种更紧凑的替代方案:将传统训练的语音分类器直接复用于扩散生成。从一个冻结的噪声条件分类器(在log-Mel空间)出发,添加一个轻量子网络,重用分类器中间表示,并仅在去噪得分匹配目标下训练该子网络。实验表明,预训练分类器可有效复用于条件生成,为判别建模与条件语音合成之间搭建了高效桥梁,实现高质量语音合成,同时显著降低内存占用和计算成本。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Classifier guidance is a way to control diffusion generation by using a noise-conditioned classifier to steer the sampling process toward a target class. One drawback of classifier guidance is that it requires two separately trained models: a classifier and a diffusion model. We therefore study a more compact alternative in which a conventionally trained speech classifier is repurposed as the backbone for diffusion generation. Starting from a frozen noise-conditioned classifier in log-Mel space, we attach a lightweight subnetwork that reuses intermediate classifier representations and train only this subnetwork under a Denoising Score Matching objective. Our work shows that a pretrained classifier can be repurposed for conditional generation, providing an appealing bridge between discriminative modeling and conditional speech synthesis resulting in high speech quality within a single-backbone model, with reduced memory footprint and computational cost.
