Speaker-adaptive Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis has attracted considerable attention due to its broad range of applications, such as personalized voice assistant services. While several approaches have been proposed, they often exhibit high…
We present EdiTTS, an off-the-shelf speech editing methodology based on score-based generative modeling for text-to-speech synthesis. EdiTTS allows for targeted, granular editing of audio, both in terms of content and pitch, without the…
We present the first neural target speech extraction (TSE) system that uses human feedback for iterative refinement. Our approach allows users to mark specific segments of the TSE output, generating an edit mask. The refinement system then…
Imperceptible text-based speech editing allows users to modify spoken content by altering the transcript. It demands that modified segments fuse seamlessly with the surrounding context. Prevalent methods operating in the acoustic space…
Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to isolate a specific voice from multiple mixed speakers relying on a registerd sample. Since voiceprint features usually vary greatly, current end-to-end neural networks require large model parameters…
Target Speech Extraction (TSE) aims to isolate a target speaker's voice from a mixture of multiple speakers by leveraging speaker-specific cues, typically provided as auxiliary audio (a.k.a. cue audio). Although recent advancements in TSE…
Sound separation (SS) and target sound extraction (TSE) are fundamental techniques for addressing complex acoustic scenarios. While existing SS methods struggle with determining the unknown number of sound sources, TSE approaches require…
