Precise control over speech characteristics, such as pitch, duration, and speech rate, remains a significant challenge in the field of voice conversion. The ability to manipulate parameters like pitch and syllable rate is an important…
Non-parallel voice conversion (VC) is a technique for learning the mapping from source to target speech without relying on parallel data. This is an important task, but it has been challenging due to the disadvantages of the training…
Voice conversion (VC) has made progress in feature disentanglement, but it is still difficult to balance timbre and content information. This paper evaluates the pre-trained model features commonly used in voice conversion, and proposes an…
Here we present a novel approach to conditioning the SampleRNN generative model for voice conversion (VC). Conventional methods for VC modify the perceived speaker identity by converting between source and target acoustic features. Our…
Cross-lingual voice conversion (CLVC) is a quite challenging task since the source and target speakers speak different languages. This paper proposes a CLVC framework based on bottleneck features and deep neural network (DNN). In the…
Any-to-any singing voice conversion (SVC) is an interesting audio editing technique, aiming to convert the singing voice of one singer into that of another, given only a few seconds of singing data. However, during the conversion process,…
Speech-to-speech translation is a typical sequence-to-sequence learning task that naturally has two directions. How to effectively leverage bidirectional supervision signals to produce high-fidelity audio for both directions? Existing…
Traditional vocoder-based statistical parametric speech synthesis can be advantageous in applications that require low computational complexity. Recent neural vocoders, which can produce high naturalness, still cannot fulfill the…
An effective approach to non-parallel voice conversion (VC) is to utilize deep neural networks (DNNs), specifically variational auto encoders (VAEs), to model the latent structure of speech in an unsupervised manner. A previous study has…
In addition to conveying the linguistic content from source speech to converted speech, maintaining the speaking style of source speech also plays an important role in the voice conversion (VC) task, which is essential in many scenarios…
Voice conversion (VC) models have demonstrated impressive few-shot conversion quality on the clean, native speech populations they're trained on. However, when source or target speech accents, background noise conditions, or microphone…
The goal of accent conversion (AC) is to convert speech accents while preserving content and speaker identity. Previous methods either required reference utterances during inference, did not preserve speaker identity well, or used…
Any-to-any singing voice conversion (SVC) aims to transfer a target singer's timbre to other songs using a short voice sample. However many diffusion model based any-to-any SVC methods, which have achieved impressive results, usually…
Recent research has demonstrated impressive results in video-to-speech synthesis which involves reconstructing speech solely from visual input. However, previous works have struggled to accurately synthesize speech due to a lack of…
This paper describes a method based on a sequence-to-sequence learning (Seq2Seq) with attention and context preservation mechanism for voice conversion (VC) tasks. Seq2Seq has been outstanding at numerous tasks involving sequence modeling…
Voice conversion is a task of synthesizing an utterance with target speaker's voice while maintaining linguistic information of the source utterance. While a speaker can produce varying utterances from a single script with different…
This paper introduces voice reenactement as the task of voice conversion (VC) in which the expressivity of the source speaker is preserved during conversion while the identity of a target speaker is transferred. To do so, an original…
In end-to-end speech translation, acoustic representations learned by the encoder are usually fixed and static, from the perspective of the decoder, which is not desirable for dealing with the cross-modal and cross-lingual challenge in…
We present an end-to-end deep network model that performs meeting diarization from single-channel audio recordings. End-to-end diarization models have the advantage of handling speaker overlap and enabling straightforward handling of…
This paper proposes RefXVC, a method for cross-lingual voice conversion (XVC) that leverages reference information to improve conversion performance. Previous XVC works generally take an average speaker embedding to condition the speaker…
