Battle-anime power transformation · Humaneness 1.5 + real-speech rank 4
Two frozen models. Exact instructions, matched seeds and complete take distributions. Find a promising recipe quickly, then inspect its limitations and listen.
Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to creative-event-contrast-three at CFG 3; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Re-scored, not regenerated: the original raw EARS predictions were reused on CPU. Old fitness, audio, prompts and scientific gates are retained. Old held-out sets tested only the previously selected wording; a newly re-ranked search winner does not inherit that validation. No universal best weighting or human-preference optimum is claimed.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
Historical weakness: missing bursts could still receive positive quality/arc credit. These pilot scores must not be pooled with family-aware scores.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.

Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Start here: best observed recipe, not a universal optimum
The current starting point uses EARS Steering v2 across the available canonical search conditions, with unchanged qualification gates taking priority. Historical candidates are used only where no canonical search exists. Held-out results below refer to the earlier selected wording and are not automatically inherited by a newly re-ranked winner.
No recipe satisfies every realization/quality gate. The highlighted recipe is the best diagnostic candidate, not a reliable recommendation.
Burst caution: family detection anywhere, nominal placement and natural blending are different questions. The pilot cannot establish accurate word-level placement. The follow-up requires a60%family-hit floor in addition to speech/identity QA; a quality-only clip with no detected event does not qualify.

Transfer to unseen sentences — earlier selection, now re-scored
The previously selected wording was repeated on five new lexically neutral bilingual scripts, at selected guidance and guidance 1. These outputs are now also re-scored with Steering v2. They do not validate other newly favored wording and are not a human listening validation.

It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
The corrected study additionally multiplies by the fraction of requested vocalization families detected anywhere. If none is detected, the final fitness is zero, even if the speech sounds pleasant. Detection still does not prove correct placement or natural blending.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Does not pass all study gates; diagnostic only. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Predeclared intervention; see exact genome and changed fields.

Current ranking: EARS Steering v2
Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to g0-p05 at CFG 2.5; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
The corrected study additionally multiplies by the fraction of requested vocalization families detected anywhere. If none is detected, the final fitness is zero, even if the speech sounds pleasant. Detection still does not prove correct placement or natural blending.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Does not pass all study gates; diagnostic only. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Full-coverage steering-v2 evolution; transfer, fixed-wording CFG and sealed splits remain distinct.

Current ranking: EARS Steering v2
Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to repair-duration_only at CFG 2.5; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
The corrected study additionally multiplies by the fraction of requested vocalization families detected anywhere. If none is detected, the final fitness is zero, even if the speech sounds pleasant. Detection still does not prove correct placement or natural blending.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Does not pass all study gates; diagnostic only. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Predeclared intervention; see exact genome and changed fields.

Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to g0-p07 at CFG 1.5; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
The corrected study additionally multiplies by the fraction of requested vocalization families detected anywhere. If none is detected, the final fitness is zero, even if the speech sounds pleasant. Detection still does not prove correct placement or natural blending.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Does not pass all study gates; diagnostic only. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Full-coverage steering-v2 evolution; transfer, fixed-wording CFG and sealed splits remain distinct.

Current ranking: EARS Steering v2
Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to creative-contrast-and-clarity at CFG 1.5; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
The corrected study additionally multiplies by the fraction of requested vocalization families detected anywhere. If none is detected, the final fitness is zero, even if the speech sounds pleasant. Detection still does not prove correct placement or natural blending.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Does not pass all study gates; diagnostic only. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Predeclared intervention; see exact genome and changed fields.

Current ranking: EARS Steering v2
Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to heldout-selected at CFG 2; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
The corrected study additionally multiplies by the fraction of requested vocalization families detected anywhere. If none is detected, the final fitness is zero, even if the speech sounds pleasant. Detection still does not prove correct placement or natural blending.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Does not pass all study gates; diagnostic only. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Same frozen wording, selected CFG versus g1 on unseen texts.

pilot-v1HISTORICAL_NONCANONICAL_TIMING_SYNTAX
Current ranking: EARS Steering v2
Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to g0-p05 at CFG 2.5; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
Historical weakness: missing bursts could still receive positive quality/arc credit. These pilot scores must not be pooled with family-aware scores.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Passes legacy speech/identity gates only; burst reliability is not established. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Joint prompt+CFG candidate, not an isolated optimal-CFG estimate.

pilot-v1HISTORICAL_NONCANONICAL_TIMING_SYNTAX
Current ranking: EARS Steering v2
Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to g1-p05 at CFG 2.5; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
Historical weakness: missing bursts could still receive positive quality/arc credit. These pilot scores must not be pooled with family-aware scores.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Passes legacy speech/identity gates only; burst reliability is not established. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Joint prompt+CFG candidate, not an isolated optimal-CFG estimate.

Current ranking: EARS Steering v2
Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to g0-p02 at CFG 1.25; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
Historical weakness: missing bursts could still receive positive quality/arc credit. These pilot scores must not be pooled with family-aware scores.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Passes legacy speech/identity gates only; burst reliability is not established. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Joint prompt+CFG candidate, not an isolated optimal-CFG estimate.

pilot-v1HISTORICAL_NONCANONICAL_TIMING_SYNTAX
Current ranking: EARS Steering v2
Emotion/style only. Content Enjoyment: 0%. Genuineness: 0%. These remain visible diagnostics, not reward terms. WER and speaker identity are separate qualification gates, not terms in this score.
Observed head means below refer to g1-p09 at CFG 1.5; every recipe also shows its own values below. These are recipe means, not one hand-picked audio.
Φ is a Gaussian CDF using the frozen EARS training statistics. This makes mixed emotion/style heads comparable; it is not an emotion probability. It compresses extreme scores, so raw means remain visible too. A pure-emotion condition has only its named emotion head, at 100%. A mixed anger/ranting scene uses 50% Anger + 50% Ranting. Each recipe score is the mean over all its takes, including failed takes.
Unchanged gates: ≥90% valid terminated takes; per-take WER ≤15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤10%; paired reference cosine decline no worse than −0.05. Existing family-aware burst conditions still need all requested families detected in ≥60% of takes to qualify as reliable burst recipes. A high emotion/style score alone does not establish a successful scream or a correctly timed transition.
Historical quality-fitness diagnostic — not the current steering ranking
Exact score for this condition
This is the prompt-search fitness, not the training RL reward. Higher means better under this particular proxy combination, not automatically more natural or more enjoyable to a listener.
35% vocal-event match, 20% emotional arc, 15% content enjoyment, 15% genuineness, 15% burst blending. Arc head: emo_Triumph. The arc rewards a positive final-third minus first-third target change, not sustained high intensity. Blend contributes only when a nominal event match exists.
Historical weakness: missing bursts could still receive positive quality/arc credit. These pilot scores must not be pooled with family-aware scores.
Fixed target normalization: z = (raw score − 0.193) / 0.528; target_CDF = Φ(z). This is a percentile-like training-distribution transform, not an emotion probability. CE and genuineness are clipped to [0, 1] after division. For burst tasks, the same target transform is used for the two arc endpoints; blend has its own frozen normalization.
WER example: WER 5% multiplies the score by 0.95; WER 20% by 0.80; WER ≥ 100% by zero. Reported raw WER remains uncapped. The displayed fitness is the mean of per-take products, not the product of the displayed means.
Separate qualification gates: at least 90% valid, terminated takes; per-take WER ≤ 15% to count as valid; candidate mean WER ≤ 10%; paired reference cosine must not fall by more than 0.05 over all 50 reference comparisons. Corrected burst conditions additionally need every requested family detected in at least 60% of takes. Passing a gate is not a weighted score bonus.
Passes legacy speech/identity gates only; burst reliability is not established. N=100 across both languages, both reference arms and all five seeds. Joint prompt+CFG candidate, not an isolated optimal-CFG estimate.
