Speech classifier repurposed for guided diffusion-based speech generation

Researchers have developed a novel method to generate speech using a repurposed speech classifier, reducing the need for separate classifier and diffusion models. This approach involves training only a lightweight subnetwork attached to a frozen, noise-conditioned classifier. The technique leverages intermediate classifier representations and a Denoising Score Matching objective, resulting in high-quality speech synthesis with a more compact and computationally efficient single-backbone model.
