...This avoids some of the typical problems of prior SVS models — like over-smoothing or unstable GAN training — and produces more realistic, expressive, and natural-sounding singing. The method introduces a “shallow diffusion” mechanism: instead of diffusing over many steps, generation begins at a shallow step determined adaptively, which leverages prior knowledge learned by a simple mel-spectrogram decoder and speeds up inference.
