Latent Diffusion Models for Text-to-Audio Generation with Limited Training Data
摘要
The Latent Diffusion Model has been effectively applied in text-to-audio (T2A) synthesis tasks. However, several challenges impede its broader implementation, including the lack of audio-text paired data, low sensitivity to temporal words, and slow inference speeds. To address these issues, we employ an approach to convert the text into different expressions and introduce a new temporal encoder that directs the model to focus more on the sequence of actions. Meanwhile we prune the model to simplify the structure at each step, thereby enhancing inference speed. To prevent a decline in generation quality due to the reduction of replication computations for deep-level features, we add a channel-enhanced and spatial attention mechanism in the last two layers of the U-Net architecture to effectively extract features. Our model, trained on a single A100 GPU with the AudioCaps dataset, achieves a 73% improvement in inference speed compared to the baseline model, while also improving the quality of the generated audio.
