The rapid evolution of end-to-end spoken dialogue systems demands transcending mere textual semantics to incorporate paralinguistic nuances and the spontaneous nature of human conversation. However, current methods struggle with two critical gaps: the modality gap, involving prosody and emotion, and the colloquialness gap, distinguishing written scripts from natural speech. To address these challenges, we introduce SDiaReward, an end-to-end multi-turn reward model trained on SDiaReward-Dataset, a novel collection of episode-level preference pairs explicitly targeting these gaps. It operates directly on full multi-turn speech episodes and is optimized with pairwise preference supervision, enabling joint assessment of modality and colloquialness in a single evaluator. We further establish ESDR-Bench, a stratified benchmark for robust episode-level evaluation. Experiments demonstrate that SDiaReward achieves state-of-the-art pairwise preference accuracy, significantly outperforming general-purpose audio LLMs. Further analysis suggests that SDiaReward captures relative conversational expressiveness beyond superficial synthesis cues, improving generalization across domains and recording conditions.

Customizable multilingual zero-shot singing voice synthesis (SVS) has various potential applications in music composition and short video dubbing. However, existing SVS models overly depend on phoneme and note boundary annotations, limiting their robustness in zero-shot scenarios and producing poor transitions between phonemes and notes. Moreover, they also lack effective multi-level style control via diverse prompts. To overcome these challenges, we introduce TCSinger 2, a multi-task multilingual zero-shot SVS model with style transfer and style control based on various prompts. TCSinger 2 mainly includes three key modules: 1) Blurred Boundary Content (BBC) Encoder, predicts duration, extends content embedding, and applies masking to the boundaries to enable smooth transitions. 2) Custom Audio Encoder, uses contrastive learning to extract aligned representations from singing, speech, and textual prompts. 3) Flow-based Custom Transformer, leverages Cus-MOE, with F0 supervision, enhancing both the synthesis quality and style modeling of the generated singing voice. Experimental results show that TCSinger 2 outperforms baseline models in both subjective and objective metrics across multiple related tasks.
