Supervised multi-channel audio source separation requires extracting useful spectral, temporal, and spatial features from the mixed signals. The success of many existing systems is therefore largely dependent on the choice of features used…
Non-parallel multi-domain voice conversion (VC) is a technique for learning mappings among multiple domains without relying on parallel data. This is important but challenging owing to the requirement of learning multiple mappings and the…
Zero-shot voice conversion (VC) aims to convert the original speaker's timbre to any target speaker while keeping the linguistic content. Current mainstream zero-shot voice conversion approaches depend on pre-trained recognition models to…
Visual sound source separation aims at identifying sound components from a given sound mixture with the presence of visual cues. Prior works have demonstrated impressive results, but with the expense of large multi-stage architectures and…
Voice conversion refers to transferring speaker identity with well-preserved content. Better disentanglement of speech representations leads to better voice conversion. Recent studies have found that phonetic information from input audio…
