We consider the problem of joint source and channel coding of structured data such as natural language over a noisy channel. The typical approach to this problem in both theory and practice involves performing source coding to first…
Non-parallel many-to-many voice conversion remains an interesting but challenging speech processing task. Many style-transfer-inspired methods such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs) have been…
In this paper, we focus on improving the performance of the text-dependent speaker verification system in the scenario of limited training data. The speaker verification system deep learning based text-dependent generally needs a large…
Human voices can be used to authenticate the identity of the speaker, but the automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems are vulnerable to voice spoofing attacks, such as impersonation, replay, text-to-speech, and voice conversion.…
Primary goal of an emotional voice conversion (EVC) system is to convert the emotion of a given speech signal from one style to another style without modifying the linguistic content of the signal. Most of the state-of-the-art approaches…
The end-to-end speech synthesis model can directly take an utterance as reference audio, and generate speech from the text with prosody and speaker characteristics similar to the reference audio. However, an appropriate acoustic embedding…
Fake audio attack becomes a major threat to the speaker verification system. Although current detection approaches have achieved promising results on dataset-specific scenarios, they encounter difficulties on unseen spoofing data.…
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…
Voice conversion (VC) refers to transforming the speaker characteristics of an utterance without altering its linguistic contents. Many works on voice conversion require to have parallel training data that is highly expensive to acquire.…
Audio-driven one-shot talking face generation methods are usually trained on video resources of various persons. However, their created videos often suffer unnatural mouth shapes and asynchronous lips because those methods struggle to learn…
There is a rising interest and trend in research towards directly translating speech from one language to another, known as end-to-end speech-to-speech translation. However, most end-to-end models struggle to outperform cascade models,…
The creation of artificial polyglot voices remains a challenging task, despite considerable progress in recent years. This paper investigates self-supervised learning for voice conversion to create native-sounding polyglot voices. We…
Recently in speaker recognition, performance degradation due to the channel domain mismatched condition has been actively addressed. However, the mismatches arising from language is yet to be sufficiently addressed. This paper proposes an…
We present a method to generate speech from input text and a style vector that is extracted from a reference speech signal in an unsupervised manner, i.e., no style annotation, such as speaker information, is required. Existing unsupervised…
A key challenge in machine learning is to generalize from training data to an application domain of interest. This work generalizes the recently-proposed mixture invariant training (MixIT) algorithm to perform unsupervised learning in the…
Currently, zero-shot voice conversion systems are capable of synthesizing the voice of unseen speakers. However, most existing approaches struggle to accurately replicate the speaking style of the source speaker or mimic the distinctive…
We present a method for matching a text sentence from a given corpus to a given video clip and vice versa. Traditionally video and text matching is done by learning a shared embedding space and the encoding of one modality is independent of…
Embedding acoustic information into fixed length representations is of interest for a whole range of applications in speech and audio technology. Two novel unsupervised approaches to generate acoustic embeddings by modelling of acoustic…
Videos, images, and sentences are mediums that can express the same semantics. One can imagine a picture by reading a sentence or can describe a scene with some words. However, even small changes in a sentence can cause a significant…
Recent advances in discrete audio codecs have significantly improved speech representation modeling, while codec language models have enabled in-context learning for zero-shot speech synthesis. Inspired by this, we propose a voice…
