Existing deep learning-based speech denoising approaches require clean speech signals to be available for training. This paper presents a deep learning-based approach to improve speech denoising in real-world audio environments by not…
Singer voice classification is a meaningful task in the digital era. With a huge number of songs today, identifying a singer is very helpful for music information retrieval, music properties indexing, and so on. In this paper, we propose a…
In this paper, we propose an invertible deep learning framework called INVVC for voice conversion. It is designed against the possible threats that inherently come along with voice conversion systems. Specifically, we develop an invertible…
We investigate the feasibility of a singing voice synthesis (SVS) system by using a decomposed framework to improve flexibility in generating singing voices. Due to data-driven approaches, SVS performs a music score-to-waveform mapping;…
Generating versatile and appropriate synthetic speech requires control over the output expression separate from the spoken text. Important non-textual speech variation is seldom annotated, in which case output control must be learned in an…
Reverb plays a critical role in music production, where it provides listeners with spatial realization, timbre, and texture of the music. Yet, it is challenging to reproduce the musical reverb of a reference music track even by skilled…
Singing voice synthesis (SVS) aims to generate natural and expressive singing waveforms from symbolic musical scores. In cVAE-based SVS, however, a mismatch arises because the decoder is trained with latent representations inferred from…
It is challenging to build a multi-singer high-fidelity singing voice synthesis system with cross-lingual ability by only using monolingual singers in the training stage. In this paper, we propose CrossSinger, which is a cross-lingual…
Voice conversion aims to convert source speech into a target voice using recordings of the target speaker as a reference. Newer models are producing increasingly realistic output. But what happens when models are fed with non-standard data,…
This paper presents a method of using autoregressive neural networks for the acoustic modeling of singing voice synthesis (SVS). Singing voice differs from speech and it contains more local dynamic movements of acoustic features, e.g.,…
Singing voice synthesis has made remarkable progress in generating natural and high-quality voices. However, existing methods rarely provide precise control over vocal techniques such as intensity, mixed voice, falsetto, bubble, and breathy…
Recent progress in deep generative models has improved the quality of neural vocoders in speech domain. However, generating a high-quality singing voice remains challenging due to a wider variety of musical expressions in pitch, loudness,…
We describe a machine-learning approach to pitch correcting a solo singing performance in a karaoke setting, where the solo voice and accompaniment are on separate tracks. The proposed approach addresses the situation where no musical score…
In this study, we define the identity of the singer with two independent concepts - timbre and singing style - and propose a multi-singer singing synthesis system that can model them separately. To this end, we extend our single-singer…
Though significant progress has been made for the voice conversion (VC) of typical speech, VC for atypical speech, e.g., dysarthric and second-language (L2) speech, remains a challenge, since it involves correcting for atypical prosody…
This paper introduces the Multi-Band Excited WaveNet a neural vocoder for speaking and singing voices. It aims to advance the state of the art towards an universal neural vocoder, which is a model that can generate voice signals from…
We explore two approaches to creatively altering vocal timbre using Differentiable Digital Signal Processing (DDSP). The first approach is inspired by classic cross-synthesis techniques. A pretrained DDSP decoder predicts a filter for a…
The problem of audio synthesis has been increasingly solved using deep neural networks. With the introduction of Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), another efficient and adjective path has opened up to solve this problem. In this paper,…
Diffusion-based singing voice conversion (SVC) models have shown better synthesis quality compared to traditional methods. However, in cross-domain SVC scenarios, where there is a significant disparity in pitch between the source and target…
Singing Voice Detection (SVD) has been an active area of research in music information retrieval (MIR). Currently, two deep neural network-based methods, one based on CNN and the other on RNN, exist in literature that learn optimized…
