The objective of this work is to train noise-robust speaker embeddings adapted for speaker diarisation. Speaker embeddings play a crucial role in the performance of diarisation systems, but they often capture spurious information such as…
Speaker verification is a task of confirming an individual's identity through the analysis of their voice. Whispered speech differs from phonated speech in acoustic characteristics, which degrades the performance of speaker verification…
Voice conversion (VC), as a voice style transfer technology, is becoming increasingly prevalent while raising serious concerns about its illegal use. Proactively tracing the origins of VC-generated speeches, i.e., speaker traceability, can…
Voice conversion (VC) using deep learning technologies can now generate high quality one-to-many voices and thus has been used in some practical application fields, such as entertainment and healthcare. However, voice conversion can pose…
Cross-lingual voice conversion (VC) is an important and challenging problem due to significant mismatches of the phonetic set and the speech prosody of different languages. In this paper, we build upon the neural text-to-speech (TTS) model,…
In this paper, we propose a novel voice conversion strategy to resolve the mismatch between the training and conversion scenarios when parallel speech corpus is unavailable for training. Based on auto-encoder and disentanglement frameworks,…
We propose a neural network for zero-shot voice conversion (VC) without any parallel or transcribed data. Our approach uses pre-trained models for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker embedding, obtained from a speaker…
Voice conversion is a method that allows for the transformation of speaking style while maintaining the integrity of linguistic information. There are many researchers using deep generative models for voice conversion tasks. Generative…
Continuous speech can be converted into a discrete sequence by deriving discrete units from the hidden features of self-supervised learned (SSL) speech models. Although SSL models are becoming larger and trained on more data, they are often…
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…

We propose a new speech discrete token vocoder, vec2wav 2.0, which advances voice conversion (VC). We use discrete tokens from speech self-supervised models as the content features of source speech, and treat VC as a prompted vocoding task.…
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…
Image denoising is a classic restoration problem. Yet, current deep learning methods are subject to the problems of generalization and interpretability. To mitigate these problems, in this project, we present a framework that is capable of…
This paper proposes a novel neural denoising vocoder that can generate clean speech waveforms from noisy mel-spectrograms. The proposed neural denoising vocoder consists of two components, i.e., a spectrum predictor and a enhancement…
Character-based neural machine translation (NMT) models alleviate out-of-vocabulary issues, learn morphology, and move us closer to completely end-to-end translation systems. Unfortunately, they are also very brittle and easily falter when…
Previous work on neural noisy channel modeling relied on latent variable models that incrementally process the source and target sentence. This makes decoding decisions based on partial source prefixes even though the full source is…
In this paper, a novel architecture for speaker recognition is proposed by cascading speech enhancement and speaker processing. Its aim is to improve speaker recognition performance when speech signals are corrupted by noise. Instead of…
As its availability and generality in online services, implicit feedback is more commonly used in recommender systems. However, implicit feedback usually presents noisy samples in real-world recommendation scenarios (such as misclicks or…
Recently, a generative variational autoencoder (VAE) has been proposed for speech enhancement to model speech statistics. However, this approach only uses clean speech in the training phase, making the estimation particularly sensitive to…
