As a form of biometric authentication technology, the security of speaker verification systems is of utmost importance. However, SV systems are inherently vulnerable to various types of attacks that can compromise their accuracy and…
In this paper, we present Period Singer, a novel end-to-end singing voice synthesis (SVS) model that utilizes variational inference for periodic and aperiodic components, aimed at producing natural-sounding waveforms. Recent end-to-end SVS…
Contrastive speaker embedding assumes that the contrast between the positive and negative pairs of speech segments is attributed to speaker identity only. However, this assumption is incorrect because speech signals contain not only speaker…
A vocoder is a conditional audio generation model that converts acoustic features such as mel-spectrograms into waveforms. Taking inspiration from Differentiable Digital Signal Processing (DDSP), we propose a new vocoder named SawSing for…
Streaming voice conversion (VC) is the task of converting the voice of one person to another in real-time. Previous streaming VC methods use phonetic posteriorgrams (PPGs) extracted from automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems to…
Singing voice conversion is converting the timbre in the source singing to the target speaker's voice while keeping singing content the same. However, singing data for target speaker is much more difficult to collect compared with normal…
Voice conversion (VC) using sequence-to-sequence learning of context posterior probabilities is proposed. Conventional VC using shared context posterior probabilities predicts target speech parameters from the context posterior…

One-shot voice conversion (VC) with only a single target speaker's speech for reference has become a hot research topic. Existing works generally disentangle timbre, while information about pitch, rhythm and content is still mixed together.…
We present S$^2$Voice, the winning system of the Singing Voice Conversion Challenge (SVCC) 2025 for both the in-domain and zero-shot singing style conversion tracks. Built on the strong two-stage Vevo baseline, S$^2$Voice advances style…
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…
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…
Any-to-any voice conversion aims to convert the voice from and to any speakers even unseen during training, which is much more challenging compared to one-to-one or many-to-many tasks, but much more attractive in real-world scenarios. In…
We introduce HybridVC, a voice conversion (VC) framework built upon a pre-trained conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) that combines the strengths of a latent model with contrastive learning. HybridVC supports text and audio prompts,…
This paper proposes an interesting voice and accent joint conversion approach, which can convert an arbitrary source speaker's voice to a target speaker with non-native accent. This problem is challenging as each target speaker only has…
Entertainment-oriented singing voice synthesis (SVS) requires a vocoder to generate high-fidelity (e.g. 48kHz) audio. However, most text-to-speech (TTS) vocoders cannot reconstruct the waveform well in this scenario. In this paper, we…
Style voice conversion aims to transform the speaking style of source speech into a desired style while keeping the original speaker's identity. However, previous style voice conversion approaches primarily focus on well-defined domains…
Deep generative models have achieved significant progress in speech synthesis to date, while high-fidelity singing voice synthesis is still an open problem for its long continuous pronunciation, rich high-frequency parts, and strong…
