Though significant progress has been made for speaker-dependent Video-to-Speech (VTS) synthesis, little attention is devoted to multi-speaker VTS that can map silent video to speech, while allowing flexible control of speaker identity, all…

Speech-to-singing voice conversion (STS) task always suffers from data scarcity, because it requires paired speech and singing data. Compounding this issue are the challenges of content-pitch alignment and the suboptimal quality of…

This paper presents ByteSing, a Chinese singing voice synthesis (SVS) system based on duration allocated Tacotron-like acoustic models and WaveRNN neural vocoders. Different from the conventional SVS models, the proposed ByteSing employs…

Singing voice synthesis (SVS) has seen remarkable advancements in recent years. However, compared to speech and general audio data, publicly available singing datasets remain limited. In practice, this data scarcity often leads to…

This paper presents the sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) baseline system for the voice conversion challenge (VCC) 2020. We consider a naive approach for voice conversion (VC), which is to first transcribe the input speech with an automatic…

Singing Voice Conversion (SVC) is a technique that enables any singer to perform any song. To achieve this, it is essential to obtain speaker-agnostic representations from the source audio, which poses a significant challenge. A common…

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…

Automatic transcription of monophonic/polyphonic music is a challenging task due to the lack of availability of large amounts of transcribed data. In this paper, we propose a data augmentation method that converts natural speech to singing…

Voice conversion is a task to convert a non-linguistic feature of a given utterance. Since naturalness of speech strongly depends on its pitch pattern, in some applications, it would be desirable to keep the original rise/fall pitch pattern…

With the development of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) technique, it's intuitive to construct a voice conversion system by cascading an ASR and TTS system. In this paper, we present a ASR-TTS method…

Singing voice conversion is converting the timbre in the source singing to the target speaker's voice while keeping singing content the same. However, singing data for target speaker is much more difficult to collect compared with normal…

This paper describes speaker verification (SV) systems submitted by the SpeakIn team to the Task 1 and Task 2 of the Far-Field Speaker Verification Challenge 2022 (FFSVC2022). SV tasks of the challenge focus on the problem of fully…

We present the latest iteration of the voice conversion challenge (VCC) series, a bi-annual scientific event aiming to compare and understand different voice conversion (VC) systems based on a common dataset. This year we shifted our focus…

Singing voice transcription converts recorded singing audio to musical notation. Sound contamination (such as accompaniment) and lack of annotated data make singing voice transcription an extremely difficult task. We take two approaches to…

This paper presents the development of a speech synthesis system for the LIMMITS'24 Challenge, focusing primarily on Track 2. The objective of the challenge is to establish a multi-speaker, multi-lingual Indic Text-to-Speech system with…

Singing Voice Synthesis (SVS) remains constrained in practical deployment due to its strong dependence on accurate phoneme-level alignment and manually annotated melody contours, requirements that are resource-intensive and hinder…

The field of Singing Voice Synthesis (SVS) has seen significant advancements in recent years due to the rapid progress of diffusion-based approaches. However, capturing vocal style, genre-specific pitch inflections, and language-dependent…

We propose Serenade, a novel framework for the singing style conversion (SSC) task. Although singer identity conversion has made great strides in the previous years, converting the singing style of a singer has been an unexplored research…

Trained on 680,000 hours of massive speech data, Whisper is a multitasking, multilingual speech foundation model demonstrating superior performance in automatic speech recognition, translation, and language identification. However, its…

Singing voice conversion (SVC) aims to render the target singer's timbre while preserving melody and lyrics. However, existing zero-shot SVC systems remain fragile in real songs due to harmony interference, F0 errors, and the lack of…
