Current Text-to-Speech models pose a multilingual challenge, where most of the models traditionally focus on English and European languages, thereby hurting the potential to provide access to information to many more people. To address this gap, we introduce MahaTTS-v2 a Multilingual Multi-speaker Text-To-Speech (TTS) system that has excellent multilingual expressive capabilities in Indic languages. The model has been trained on around 20K hours of data specifically focused on Indian languages. Our approach leverages Wav2Vec2.0 tokens for semantic extraction, and a Language Model (LM) for text-to-semantic modeling. Additionally, we have used a Conditional Flow Model (CFM) for semantics to melspectogram generation. The experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed approach over other frameworks. Our code is available at https://github.com/dubverse-ai/MahaTTSv2

As machine learning systems increasingly rely on data subject to privacy regulation, selectively unlearning specific information from trained models has become essential. In image classification, this involves removing the influence of particular training samples, semantic classes, or visual styles without full retraining. We introduce \textbf{Forget-Aligned Model Reconstruction (FAMR)}, a theoretically grounded and computationally efficient framework for post-hoc unlearning in deep image classifiers. FAMR frames forgetting as a constrained optimization problem that minimizes a uniform-prediction loss on the forget set while anchoring model parameters to their original values via an $\ell_2$ penalty. A theoretical analysis links FAMR's solution to influence-function-based retraining approximations, with bounds on parameter and output deviation. Empirical results on class forgetting tasks using CIFAR-10 and ImageNet-100 demonstrate FAMR's effectiveness, with strong performance retention and minimal computational overhead. The framework generalizes naturally to concept and style erasure, offering a scalable and certifiable route to efficient post-hoc forgetting in vision models.
