The article discusses Auffusion, a Text-to-Audio (TTA) system that leverages the power of diffusion models and large language models. Auffusion adapts Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models to the TTA task, improving generation quality and text-audio alignment. The system outperforms previous TTA approaches using limited data and computational resources. The article also highlights the importance of encoder choice on cross-modal alignment, which is often overlooked in TTA studies. Auffusion excels in generating audios that match textual descriptions accurately, proving its effectiveness in tasks like audio style transfer and inpainting.
