The article discusses the development of the Balanced SNR-Aware (BSA) method, a technique designed to improve text-to-audio generation tasks. Diffusion models have shown potential in these tasks, but practical use has been hindered by slow sampling speeds. The BSA method, implemented within the framework of progressive distillation, balances the weight of loss for high and low noise levels, demonstrating superior performance during the reverse diffusion process. The method also allows for a significant reduction in sampling steps, with minimal performance degradation.
