TL;DR

Qwen-Audio-3.0-Gen-Preview is presented, a unified non-autoregressive framework that uses a Diffusion Transformer and a shared variational autoencoder (VAE) to generate the complete mixed waveform and demonstrates the potential of unified generation for temporally structured audio without task-specific branches.

Abstract

Existing single-domain and multi-task audio systems remain limited in directly organizing heterogeneous audio components, ambience, and multiple roles into long-form temporal scenes. We present Qwen-Audio-3.0-Gen-Preview, a unified non-autoregressive framework that uses a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) and a shared variational autoencoder (VAE) to generate the complete mixed waveform. Prompt enhancement converts free-form requests into structured temporal records that are rendered as textual conditions, while a two-stage data curriculum and semantic conditional views train the proposed model to use these conditions across standalone and mixed-scene audio. A shared continuous VAE compresses 48kHz stereo waveforms into 25Hz latent sequences and incorporates semantic supervision, providing one representation for heterogeneous audio. On the public reference-conditioned benchmark, speaker similarity is the proposed model's clearest strength across all three subsets. Across the multi-speaker and rich-timeline benchmarks, its clearest comparative strengths are cross-turn consistency in both languages and temporal localization, respectively. On AudioCaps, its advantages are concentrated in evaluations using large audio-language models and AudioBox. These results demonstrate the potential of unified generation for temporally structured audio without task-specific branches.

Beyond Speech: Dual-Domain SSL Fusion for Unified All-Type Audio Deepfake Detection

Unified all-type audio deepfake detection aims to determine whether an input clip is real or fake when its audio type may be speech, environmental sound, singing voice, or music. Existing speech-centric or type-dependent solutions are insufficient for this setting because the test-time audio type is unknown, while the...

Self-supervised audio representation learning model based on time-frequency decoupling and masked reconstruction

A self-supervised model that integrates a time-frequency decoupled (TF-D) stem with masked latent reconstruction with the strongest overall transfer results among the internal variants and a competitive balance among representation quality, encoder scale, and inference efficiency is proposed.
