Revise-TTS: A Non-Masking Refinement Framework for Masked Diffusion Models in Text-to-Speech
arXiv cs.SD0 views
arXiv:2610.19499v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-speech (TTS) based on masked diffusion models (MDMs) achieves competitive zero-shot speech synthesis performance. Unlike autoregressive (AR) models, MDMs define a corruption process that maps clean speech-token sequences to masked maps and learn a reverse denoising process to recover the reference tokens. However, MDMs commit to intermediate predictions that cannot be revised in subsequent inference steps. Consequently, prediction errors accumulate and propagate, degrading synthesized speech quality. We present Revise-TTS, a single-stage framework that applies hierarchical binary quantization (HBQ) and generative refinement networks (GRN) to zero-shot speech generation. First, we replace finite scalar quantization (FSQ) with HBQ to introduce a scalable binary representation for speech tokens with an explicit coarse-to-fine structure. Second, GRN is trained to reconstruct the token sequence from a mixture of ground-truth and random tokens. During inference, iterative refinement enables self-correction by randomly discarding a small proportion of previously predicted tokens with new predictions. Experiments and ablation studies demonstrate that Revise-TTS achieves competitive zero-shot speech synthesis performance using HBQ. It can further be extended to any MDM-based TTS task as an alternative training and inference method.
