World-Consistent Video Diffusion With Explicit 3D Modeling

Machine Learning Research at Apple

As diffusion models dominating visual content generation, efforts have been made to adapt these models for multi-view image generation to create 3D content. Traditionally, these methods implicitly learn 3D consistency by generating only RGB frames, which can lead to artifacts and inefficiencies in training. In contrast, we propose generating Normalized Coordinate Space (NCS) frames alongside RGB frames.

SpeakStream: Streaming Text-to-Speech with Interleaved Data

Machine Learning Research at Apple

With the increasing integration of speech front-ends and large language models (LLM), there is a need to explore architectures that integrate these modalities. While end-to-end models have been explored extensively, cascaded models that stream outputs from LLMs to TTS seem to be oddly under-explored, even though they are potentially much simpler. Using traditional text-to-speech systems to convert LLM outputs to audio, however, poses a technical problem because they need entire utterances to gen
