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…
Cross-lingual voice conversion (VC) is an important and challenging problem due to significant mismatches of the phonetic set and the speech prosody of different languages. In this paper, we build upon the neural text-to-speech (TTS) model,…
This paper introduces voice reenactement as the task of voice conversion (VC) in which the expressivity of the source speaker is preserved during conversion while the identity of a target speaker is transferred. To do so, an original…
Vector Quantized Variational AutoEncoders (VQ-VAE) are a powerful representation learning framework that can discover discrete groups of features from a speech signal without supervision. Until now, the VQ-VAE architecture has previously…
Voice conversion (VC) could be used to improve speech recognition systems in low-resource languages by using it to augment limited training data. However, VC has not been widely used for this purpose because of practical issues such as…
Voice conversion is the task of converting a spoken utterance from a source speaker so that it appears to be said by a different target speaker while retaining the linguistic content of the utterance. Recent advances have led to major…
Voice conversion models modify timbre while preserving paralinguistic features, enabling applications like dubbing and identity protection. However, most VC systems require access to target utterances, limiting their use when target data is…
Numerous voice conversion (VC) techniques have been proposed for the conversion of voices among different speakers. Although good quality of the converted speech can be observed when VC is applied in a clean environment, the quality…
Zero-shot singing voice conversion (SVC) transforms a source singer's timbre to an unseen target speaker's voice while preserving melodic content without fine-tuning. Existing methods model speaker timbre and vocal content separately,…
Recent works on voice conversion (VC) focus on preserving the rhythm and the intonation as well as the linguistic content. To preserve these features from the source, we decompose current non-parallel VC systems into two encoders and one…
Neural audio codecs (NACs), which use neural networks to generate compact audio representations, have garnered interest for their applicability to many downstream tasks -- especially quantized codecs due to their compatibility with large…
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…
Expressive voice conversion (VC) conducts speaker identity conversion for emotional speakers by jointly converting speaker identity and emotional style. Emotional style modeling for arbitrary speakers in expressive VC has not been…
Voice conversion refers to transferring speaker identity with well-preserved content. Better disentanglement of speech representations leads to better voice conversion. Recent studies have found that phonetic information from input audio…
This paper presents AC-VC (Almost Causal Voice Conversion), a phonetic posteriorgrams based voice conversion system that can perform any-to-many voice conversion while having only 57.5 ms future look-ahead. The complete system is composed…
We present S$^2$Voice, the winning system of the Singing Voice Conversion Challenge (SVCC) 2025 for both the in-domain and zero-shot singing style conversion tracks. Built on the strong two-stage Vevo baseline, S$^2$Voice advances style…
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…
This paper proposes a simple and robust zero-shot voice conversion system with a cycle structure and mel-spectrogram pre-processing. Previous works suffer from information loss and poor synthesis quality due to their reliance on a carefully…
This paper focuses on designing a noise-robust end-to-end Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) system. To this end, we propose Visual Context-driven Audio Feature Enhancement module (V-CAFE) to enhance the input noisy audio speech with a…
In addition to conveying the linguistic content from source speech to converted speech, maintaining the speaking style of source speech also plays an important role in the voice conversion (VC) task, which is essential in many scenarios…
