Language Model Based Text-to-Audio Generation: Anti-Causally Aligned Collaborative Residual Transformers
While language models (LMs) paired with residual vector quantization (RVQ) tokenizers have shown promise in text-to-audio (T2A) generation, they still lag behind diffusion-based models by a non-trivial margin. We identify a critical dilemma underpinning this gap: incorporating more RVQ layers improv
