In cross-lingual speech synthesis, the speech in various languages can be synthesized for a monoglot speaker. Normally, only the data of monoglot speakers are available for model training, thus the speaker similarity is relatively low…
Cross-lingual voice conversion (VC) is a task that aims to synthesize target voices with the same content while source and target speakers speak in different languages. Its challenge lies in the fact that the source and target data are…
Voice conversion has gained increasing popularity within the field of audio manipulation and speech synthesis. Often, the main objective is to transfer the input identity to that of a target speaker without changing its linguistic content.…
After the great success of Vision Transformer variants (ViTs) in computer vision, it has also demonstrated great potential in domain adaptive semantic segmentation. Unfortunately, straightforwardly applying local ViTs in domain adaptive…
End-to-end neural speaker diarization systems are able to address the speaker diarization task while effectively handling speech overlap. This work explores the incorporation of speaker information embeddings into the end-to-end systems to…
Face-based Voice Conversion (FVC) is a novel task that leverages facial images to generate the target speaker's voice style. Previous work has two shortcomings: (1) suffering from obtaining facial embeddings that are well-aligned with the…
Turn-taking has played an essential role in structuring the regulation of a conversation. The task of identifying the main speaker (who is properly taking his/her turn of speaking) and the interrupters (who are interrupting or reacting to…
Audio to Video generation is an interesting problem that has numerous applications across industry verticals including film making, multi-media, marketing, education and others. High-quality video generation with expressive facial movements…
The goal of Audio-Visual Segmentation (AVS) is to localize and segment the sounding source objects from video frames. Research on AVS suffers from data scarcity due to the high cost of fine-grained manual annotations. Recent works attempt…
Speaker Diarization (SD) consists of splitting or segmenting an input audio burst according to speaker identities. In this paper, we focus on the crucial task of the SD problem which is the audio segmenting process and suggest a solution…
Token uniformity is commonly observed in transformer-based models, in which different tokens share a large proportion of similar information after going through stacked multiple self-attention layers in a transformer. In this paper, we…
We propose a new algorithm called DK-vec for aligning pairs of Asian/Indo-European noisy parallel texts without sentence boundaries. DK-vec improves on previous alignment algorithms in that it handles better the non-linear nature of noisy…
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) refers to the problem of distinguishing speech segments from background noise. Numerous approaches have been proposed for this purpose. Some are based on features derived from the power spectral density,…
Single-channel speech separation in time domain and frequency domain has been widely studied for voice-driven applications over the past few years. Most of previous works assume known number of speakers in advance, however, which is not…
Estimation of the location of sound sources is usually done using microphone arrays. Such settings provide an environment where we know the difference between the received signals among different microphones in the terms of phase or…
Building artificial intelligence (AI) systems on top of a set of foundation models (FMs) is becoming a new paradigm in AI research. Their representative and generative abilities learnt from vast amounts of data can be easily adapted and…
One-shot voice conversion has received significant attention since only one utterance from source speaker and target speaker respectively is required. Moreover, source speaker and target speaker do not need to be seen during training.…
Approximately 1.2% of the world's population has impaired voice production. As a result, automatic dysphonic voice detection has attracted considerable academic and clinical interest. However, existing methods for automated voice assessment…
In this paper, we propose a non-parallel any-to-many voice conversion (VC) method termed VoiceGrad. Inspired by WaveGrad, a recently introduced novel waveform generation method, VoiceGrad is based upon the concepts of score matching and…
We present a unified system to realize one-shot voice conversion (VC) on the pitch, rhythm, and speaker attributes. Existing works generally ignore the correlation between prosody and language content, leading to the degradation of…
