Tango 2: Improving Text-to-Audio Generation through Direct Preference Optimization


核心概念
Tango 2, a text-to-audio generation model, outperforms existing models like Tango and AudioLDM2 by leveraging direct preference optimization (DPO) on a synthetically created preference dataset, Audio-alpaca.
要約

The paper presents Tango 2, a text-to-audio generation model that builds upon the existing Tango model. The key contributions are:

  1. Creation of the Audio-alpaca dataset: The authors synthetically create a preference dataset where each text prompt has a "winner" audio output and some "loser" audio outputs. The loser outputs are generated by perturbing the prompts to remove or change the order of certain concepts, or by adversarial filtering of the generated audios. This dataset is used to fine-tune the Tango model.

  2. DPO-based fine-tuning: The authors fine-tune the Tango model using diffusion-based direct preference optimization (DPO) on the Audio-alpaca dataset. This allows the model to learn from both the desirable (winner) and undesirable (loser) audio outputs, leading to better alignment between the text prompts and generated audios.

  3. Evaluation: The authors evaluate Tango 2 on both objective metrics (Frechet Audio Distance, KL divergence, Inception Score, CLAP score) and subjective metrics (overall audio quality and relevance to the text prompt). Tango 2 outperforms the baseline models Tango and AudioLDM2 on both objective and subjective evaluations.

  4. Analysis: The authors further analyze the performance of Tango 2 on prompts with temporal sequences and multiple concepts, showing consistent improvements over the baselines.

The key insight is that by exposing the model to the contrast between good and bad audio outputs during DPO fine-tuning, Tango 2 is able to better map the semantics of the input prompts into the audio space, despite relying on the same dataset as Tango for synthetic preference data-creation.

"Tango 2 significantly outperforms various versions of AudioLDM and AudioLDM2 on these two metrics." "Notably, in our experiments, AudioLDM2 performed the worst, with the scores of only 3.56 in OVL and 3.19 in REL, significantly lower than both Tango and Tango 2."

深掘り質問

How can the Audio-alpaca dataset be further improved or expanded to better capture human preferences for text-to-audio generation?

The Audio-alpaca dataset can be enhanced in several ways to better capture human preferences for text-to-audio generation: Diverse Prompt Selection: Ensure a wider variety of text prompts are included in the dataset to cover a broader range of scenarios and concepts. This can help in capturing a more comprehensive set of preferences from human evaluators. Increased Annotator Diversity: Involve a more diverse set of human annotators in the preference labeling process to account for different subjective preferences and perspectives. This can help in reducing bias and ensuring a more representative dataset. Fine-grained Preference Annotations: Instead of binary preferences (winner/loser), consider incorporating more nuanced preference annotations, such as Likert scales or qualitative feedback. This can provide richer insights into human preferences and improve the dataset quality. Balanced Sample Distribution: Ensure a balanced distribution of preference pairs across different categories and difficulty levels. This can prevent bias towards certain types of prompts and ensure a more comprehensive evaluation of the model's performance. Incorporating Real-world Scenarios: Include prompts that mimic real-world scenarios, such as dialogues, storytelling, or complex audio descriptions. This can help in capturing preferences for more realistic text-to-audio generation tasks. Continuous Iteration and Validation: Regularly update and validate the dataset based on feedback from human evaluators and model performance. Continuous refinement and expansion can lead to a more robust and reliable dataset for preference modeling.

How can the Tango 2 model be adapted or extended to handle more diverse and complex text prompts, such as those involving multiple speakers, sound effects, or musical elements?

To enhance the capability of the Tango 2 model in handling diverse and complex text prompts, especially those involving multiple speakers, sound effects, or musical elements, the following strategies can be considered: Multi-modal Fusion: Incorporate multi-modal fusion techniques to integrate information from different modalities such as text, audio, and possibly visual cues. This can help in capturing the nuances of complex prompts involving multiple speakers or sound effects. Speaker Diarization: Implement speaker diarization techniques to identify and separate different speakers in the audio input. This can enable the model to generate audio outputs with distinct voices for each speaker in the text prompt. Sound Effect Embeddings: Introduce sound effect embeddings or representations in the model architecture to handle prompts with specific sound effects. This can enhance the model's ability to generate audio outputs with the desired sound effects accurately. Musical Element Integration: Incorporate musical element recognition and generation modules to handle text prompts involving musical elements. This can enable the model to generate audio outputs with musical components aligned with the input text. Fine-tuning on Diverse Data: Fine-tune the Tango 2 model on a diverse dataset that includes a wide range of prompts with multiple speakers, sound effects, and musical elements. This can help the model learn to generalize better and adapt to various complex scenarios. Attention Mechanisms: Enhance the model's attention mechanisms to focus on different parts of the input text related to multiple speakers, sound effects, or musical elements. This can improve the model's ability to capture and generate audio outputs based on specific elements in the text prompts. By incorporating these strategies, Tango 2 can be adapted and extended to handle more diverse and complex text prompts effectively, catering to a wider range of text-to-audio generation tasks.
