Voice conversion (VC) is a task to transform a person's voice to different style while conserving linguistic contents. Previous state-of-the-art on VC is based on sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) model, which could mislead linguistic…
An important step in speaker verification is extracting features that best characterize the speaker voice. This paper investigates a front-end processing that aims at improving the performance of speaker verification based on the SVMs…
Style voice conversion aims to transform the style of source speech to a desired style according to real-world application demands. However, the current style voice conversion approach relies on pre-defined labels or reference speech to…
Voice conversion (VC) is a task that transforms the source speaker's timbre, accent, and tones in audio into another one's while preserving the linguistic content. It is still a challenging work, especially in a one-shot setting.…
