The speech-to-singing (STS) voice conversion task aims to generate singing samples corresponding to speech recordings while facing a major challenge: the alignment between the target (singing) pitch contour and the source (speech) content…

Building a high-quality singing corpus for a person who is not good at singing is non-trivial, thus making it challenging to create a singing voice synthesizer for this person. Learn2Sing is dedicated to synthesizing the singing voice of a…

Singing voice separation based on deep learning relies on the usage of time-frequency masking. In many cases the masking process is not a learnable function or is not encapsulated into the deep learning optimization. Consequently, most of…

Music source separation (MSS) aims to separate mixed music into its distinct tracks, such as vocals, bass, drums, and more. MSS is considered to be a challenging audio separation task due to the complexity of music signals. Although the RNN…

Sound separation (SS) and target sound extraction (TSE) are fundamental techniques for addressing complex acoustic scenarios. While existing SS methods struggle with determining the unknown number of sound sources, TSE approaches require…

Singing voice conversion is to convert a singer's voice to another one's voice without changing singing content. Recent work shows that unsupervised singing voice conversion can be achieved with an autoencoder-based approach [1]. However,…

Single channel target speaker separation (TSS) aims at extracting a speaker's voice from a mixture of multiple talkers given an enrollment utterance of that speaker. A typical deep learning TSS framework consists of an upstream model that…

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…

Informed source separation has recently gained renewed interest with the introduction of neural networks and the availability of large multitrack datasets containing both the mixture and the separated sources. These approaches use prior…

Speech enhancement and separation are two fundamental tasks for robust speech processing. Speech enhancement suppresses background noise while speech separation extracts target speech from interfering speakers. Despite a great number of…

In daily listening environments, speech is always distorted by background noise, room reverberation and interference speakers. With the developing of deep learning approaches, much progress has been performed on monaural multi-speaker…
