While preventing seller lock-in and improving efficiency and availability, a VSM suffers from a key weakness from a buyer's perspective, i. e., the broker and the corresponding marketplace lock-in, which may lead to suboptimal shopping experience for buyers, due to marketplace monopoly by the broker and limited choice of products in the marketplace.

For tasks such as text-to-speech (TTS), voice conversion (VC), and automatic speech recognition (ASR), a cross-modal fine-grained (frame-level) sequence representation is desired, emphasizing the semantic content of the text modality while de-emphasizing the paralinguistic information of the speech modality.
