Task-Vector Arithmetic for Emotional Expressivity Control in Language-Model-Based Text-to-Speech

arXiv:2606.05367v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We investigate whether task-vector arithmetic, successful for cross-speaker emotional intensity control in modular text-to-speech (TTS), transfers to large-scale TTS systems built on language-model backbones with in-context learning (LM-TTS). Through a systematic elimination study over four progressively narrower operands on Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B - model weights via LoRA fine-tuning, continuous codec embeddings, discrete codec tokens, and the speaker embedding (x-vector) produced by an ECAPA-TDNN encoder jointly trained with the synthesis backbo…
