New Study Explores Geometric Properties of Emotion Steering in TTS Models

Researchers have presented a novel study exploring the geometric properties of emotion control in text-to-speech (TTS) systems. The study compares speech language models (SLMs) and conditional flow-matching (CFM) modules as sites for steering mixed emotions in speech synthesis. Findings indicate that SLMs provide a distinct, low-dimensional subspace for emotions with good speaker-emotion disentanglement, whereas CFM modules show weaker cross-speaker performance due to entangled speaker and emotion representations. Joint steering can enhance emotion intensity but may reduce proportional control and speech quality. AI

IMPACT Provides insights for developing more controllable and nuanced emotional expression in speech synthesis systems.
