X+Slides: Benchmark for Audience-Conditioned Slide Generation

X+Slides introduces a benchmark that evaluates slide generation based on target audience needs. It uses 8,133 source-grounded probes across 113 topics and seven scenes to measure Audience Coverage, Domain-wise Coverage, Efficiency, and Correctness, revealing that current systems recover only partial audience-essential information, with DeepPresenter achieving 0.714 Audience Coverage, SlideTailor 0.594, and NotebookLM ablation 0.853, highlighting the need for source-grounded evaluation.

ScenA: Reference-Driven Multi-Speaker Audio Scene Generation

ScenA conditions a text-to-audio foundation model on multiple reference voices and a natural language scene prompt to generate realistic multi-speaker conversations. It addresses the 'Reference Shortcut' issue by using a high-noise-biased training schedule, ensuring speaker assignment relies on text prompts rather than acoustic similarity. Evaluated on CoVoMix2-Dialogue, Scen- A outperforms existing systems in speaker-binding and produces rich, naturalistic audio with overlapping speech and ambient noise.
