Although there has been significant advancement in the field of speech-to-speech translation, conventional models still require language-parallel speech data between the source and target languages for training. In this paper, we introduce…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are one of the most promising technologies for the next era of speech generation systems, due to their scalability and in-context learning capabilities. Nevertheless, they suffer from multiple stability issues…
Voice conversion has made great progress in the past few years under the studio-quality test scenario in terms of speech quality and speaker similarity. However, in real applications, test speech from source speaker or target speaker can be…
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…
Zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis aims to clone any unseen speaker's voice without adaptation parameters. By quantizing speech waveform into discrete acoustic tokens and modeling these tokens with the language model, recent language…
The goal of voice conversion (VC) is to convert input voice to match the target speaker's voice while keeping text and prosody intact. VC is usually used in entertainment and speaking-aid systems, as well as applied for speech data…
The objective of this paper is to learn representations of speaker identity without access to manually annotated data. To do so, we develop a self-supervised learning objective that exploits the natural cross-modal synchrony between faces…
Zero-shot Text-to-Speech (TTS) voice cloning poses severe privacy risks, demanding the removal of specific speaker identities from trained TTS models. Conventional machine unlearning is insufficient in this context, as zero-shot TTS can…
Speaker anonymization seeks to conceal a speaker's identity while preserving the utility of their speech. The achieved privacy is commonly evaluated with a speaker recognition model trained on anonymized speech. Although this represents a…
Creating realistic and natural-sounding synthetic speech remains a big challenge for voice identities unseen during training. As there is growing interest in synthesizing voices of new speakers, here we investigate the ability of…
Collecting speech data is an important step in training speech recognition systems and other speech-based machine learning models. However, the issue of privacy protection is an increasing concern that must be addressed. The current study…
We present a method for converting the voices between a set of speakers. Our method is based on training multiple autoencoder paths, where there is a single speaker-independent encoder and multiple speaker-dependent decoders. The…
