Singing voice synthesis (SVS) aims to generate natural and expressive singing waveforms from symbolic musical scores. In cVAE-based SVS, however, a mismatch arises because the decoder is trained with latent representations inferred from…

We propose a unified framework for Singing Voice Synthesis (SVS) and Conversion (SVC), addressing the limitations of existing approaches in cross-domain SVS/SVC, poor output musicality, and scarcity of singing data. Our framework enables…

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…

Deep learning based singing voice synthesis (SVS) systems have been demonstrated to flexibly generate singing with better qualities, compared to conventional statistical parametric based methods. However, neural systems are generally…

We investigate a novel cross-lingual multi-speaker text-to-speech synthesis approach for generating high-quality native or accented speech for native/foreign seen/unseen speakers in English and Mandarin. The system consists of three…

The lack of a publicly-available large-scale and diverse dataset has long been a significant bottleneck for singing voice applications like Singing Voice Synthesis (SVS) and Singing Voice Conversion (SVC). To tackle this problem, we present…

This paper introduces Opencpop, a publicly available high-quality Mandarin singing corpus designed for singing voice synthesis (SVS). The corpus consists of 100 popular Mandarin songs performed by a female professional singer. Audio files…

High-fidelity singing voices usually require higher sampling rate (e.g., 48kHz) to convey expression and emotion. However, higher sampling rate causes the wider frequency band and longer waveform sequences and throws challenges for singing…

To explore the potential advantages of utilizing spatial cues from images for generating stereo singing voices with room reverberation, we introduce VS-Singer, a vision-guided model designed to produce stereo singing voices with room…

We propose a singing voice synthesis (SVS) method for a more unified ensemble singing voice by modeling interactions between singers. Most existing SVS methods aim to synthesize a solo voice, and do not consider interactions between…

In this work, we present a simple and elegant approach to language modeling for bilingual code-switched text. Since code-switching is a blend of two or more different languages, a standard bilingual language model can be improved upon by…

Singing voice synthesis is a generative task that involves multi-dimensional control of the singing model, including lyrics, pitch, and duration, and includes the timbre of the singer and singing skills such as vibrato. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we conduct data selection analysis in building an English-Mandarin code-switching (CS) speech recognition (CSSR) system, which is aimed for a real CSSR contest in China. The overall training sets have three subsets, i.e., a…

This paper presents XiaoiceSing, a high-quality singing voice synthesis system which employs an integrated network for spectrum, F0 and duration modeling. We follow the main architecture of FastSpeech while proposing some singing-specific…

Code-switching (CS) is common in daily conversations where more than one language is used within a sentence. The difficulties of CS speech recognition lie in alternating languages and the lack of transcribed data. Therefore, this paper uses…

This paper proposes singing voice synthesis (SVS) based on frame-level sequence-to-sequence models considering vocal timing deviation. In SVS, it is essential to synchronize the timing of singing with temporal structures represented by…

When deploying a Chinese neural text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system, one of the challenges is to synthesize Chinese utterances with English phrases or words embedded. This paper looks into the problem in the encoder-decoder framework when…

Style transfer for out-of-domain (OOD) singing voice synthesis (SVS) focuses on generating high-quality singing voices with unseen styles (such as timbre, emotion, pronunciation, and articulation skills) derived from reference singing voice…

Building a high-quality singing corpus for a person who is not good at singing is non-trivial, thus making it challenging to create a singing voice synthesizer for this person. Learn2Sing is dedicated to synthesizing the singing voice of a…

Recent advancements in speech synthesis witness significant benefits by leveraging discrete tokens extracted from self-supervised learning (SSL) models. Discrete tokens offer higher storage efficiency and greater operability in intermediate…
