Audio-driven talking face generation has garnered significant interest within the domain of digital human research. Existing methods are encumbered by intricate model architectures that are intricately dependent on each other, complicating…
Controllable generation using StyleGANs is usually achieved by training the model using labeled data. For audio textures, however, there is currently a lack of large semantically labeled datasets. Therefore, to control generation, we…
Voice conversion (VC) techniques aim to modify speaker identity of an utterance while preserving the underlying linguistic information. Most VC approaches ignore modeling of the speaking style (e.g. emotion and emphasis), which may contain…
Facial attribute editing aims to manipulate single or multiple attributes of a face image, i.e., to generate a new face with desired attributes while preserving other details. Recently, generative adversarial net (GAN) and encoder-decoder…
Recently, and under the umbrella of Responsible AI, efforts have been made to develop gender-ambiguous synthetic speech to represent with a single voice all individuals in the gender spectrum. However, research efforts have completely…
Advancement in speech technology has brought convenience to our life. However, the concern is on the rise as speech signal contains multiple personal attributes, which would lead to either sensitive information leakage or bias toward…
We present LingGen, a controlled text generation model that allows fine-grained control over a large number of real-valued linguistic attributes. It encodes target attribute values with a dedicated linguistic attribute encoder and…
Currently, many multi-speaker speech synthesis and voice conversion systems address speaker variations with an embedding vector. Modeling it directly allows new voices outside of training data to be synthesized. GMM based approaches such as…
The goal of this paper is to synthesise talking faces with controllable facial motions. To achieve this goal, we propose two key ideas. The first is to establish a canonical space where every face has the same motion patterns but different…
Besides its linguistic content, our speech is rich in biometric information that can be inferred by classifiers. Learning privacy-preserving representations for speech signals enables downstream tasks without sharing unnecessary, private…
Controlling chatbot utterance generation with multiple attributes such as personalities, emotions and dialogue acts is a practically useful but under-studied problem. We propose a novel framework called DASC that possesses strong…
Generative models have been applied in the medical imaging domain for various image recognition and synthesis tasks. However, a more controllable and interpretable image synthesis model is still lacking yet necessary for important…
Non-goal oriented dialog agents (i.e. chatbots) aim to produce varying and engaging conversations with a user; however, they typically exhibit either inconsistent personality across conversations or the average personality of all users.…
Accent is an integral part of society, reflecting multiculturalism and shaping how individuals express identity. The majority of English speakers are non-native (L2) speakers, yet current Text-To-Speech (TTS) systems primarily model…
Generative models are now capable of synthesizing images, speeches, and videos that are hardly distinguishable from authentic contents. Such capabilities cause concerns such as malicious impersonation and IP theft. This paper investigates a…
State-of-the-art generative models (e.g. StyleGAN3 \cite{karras2021alias}) often generate photorealistic images based on vectors sampled from their latent space. However, the ability to control the output is limited. Here we present our…
Generating and manipulating human facial images using high-level attributal controls are important and interesting problems. The models proposed in previous work can solve one of these two problems (generation or manipulation), but not both…
In recent years, image generation has made great strides in improving the quality of images, producing high-fidelity ones. Also, quite recently, there are architecture designs, which enable GAN to unsupervisedly learn the semantic…
The face reenactment is a popular facial animation method where the person's identity is taken from the source image and the facial motion from the driving image. Recent works have demonstrated high quality results by combining the facial…
A Prompt-based Text-To-Speech model allows a user to control different aspects of speech, such as speaking rate and perceived gender, through natural language instruction. Although user-friendly, such approaches are on one hand constrained:…
