Modern speaker recognition system relies on abundant and balanced datasets for classification training. However, diverse defective datasets, such as partially-labelled, small-scale, and imbalanced datasets, are common in real-world…
Zero-shot voice conversion (VC) aims to transform source speech into arbitrary unseen target voice while keeping the linguistic content unchanged. Recent VC methods have made significant progress, but semantic losses in the decoupling…
This paper presents our systems (denoted as T13) for the singing voice conversion challenge (SVCC) 2023. For both in-domain and cross-domain English singing voice conversion (SVC) tasks (Task 1 and Task 2), we adopt a recognition-synthesis…
Zero-shot voice conversion (VC) aims to transfer timbre from a source speaker to any unseen target speaker while preserving linguistic content. Growing application scenarios demand models with streaming inference capabilities. This has…
A diffusion-based voice conversion (VC) model (e.g., VoiceGrad) can achieve high speech quality and speaker similarity; however, its conversion process is slow owing to iterative sampling. FastVoiceGrad overcomes this limitation by…
We present a large-scale comparative study of self-supervised speech representation (S3R)-based voice conversion (VC). In the context of recognition-synthesis VC, S3Rs are attractive owing to their potential to replace expensive supervised…
Voice conversion is becoming increasingly popular, and a growing number of application scenarios require models with streaming inference capabilities. The recently proposed DualVC attempts to achieve this objective through streaming model…
Voice conversion (VC) can be achieved by first extracting source content information and target speaker information, and then reconstructing waveform with these information. However, current approaches normally either extract dirty content…
The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has spurred significant progress in Large Speech-Language Models (LSLMs), enhancing their capabilities in both speech understanding and generation. While existing LSLMs often concentrate…
We propose PolyVoice, a language model-based framework for speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) system. Our framework consists of two language models: a translation language model and a speech synthesis language model. We use discretized…
Building a voice conversion (VC) system from non-parallel speech corpora is challenging but highly valuable in real application scenarios. In most situations, the source and the target speakers do not repeat the same texts or they may even…
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…
An efficient speech to text converter for mobile application is presented in this work. The prime motive is to formulate a system which would give optimum performance in terms of complexity, accuracy, delay and memory requirements for…
In this paper, we present the voice conversion (VC) systems developed at Nagoya University (NU) for the Voice Conversion Challenge 2020 (VCC2020). We aim to determine the effectiveness of two recent significant technologies in VC:…
Expressive voice conversion performs identity conversion for emotional speakers by jointly converting speaker identity and emotional style. Due to the hierarchical structure of speech emotion, it is challenging to disentangle the emotional…
Conformer-based models have become the dominant end-to-end architecture for speech processing tasks. With the objective of enhancing the conformer architecture for efficient training and inference, we carefully redesigned Conformer with a…

Despite remarkable advancements in recent voice conversion (VC) systems, enhancing speaker similarity in zero-shot scenarios remains challenging. This challenge arises from the difficulty of generalizing and adapting speaker characteristics…
The creation of artificial polyglot voices remains a challenging task, despite considerable progress in recent years. This paper investigates self-supervised learning for voice conversion to create native-sounding polyglot voices. We…
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…
