Despite their strong performances on many generative tasks, diffusion models require a large number of sampling steps in order to generate realistic samples. This has motivated the community to develop effective methods to distill…
Accent transfer aims to transfer an accent from a source speaker to synthetic speech in the target speaker's voice. The main challenge is how to effectively disentangle speaker timbre and accent which are entangled in speech. This paper…
We explore a novel way of conceptualising the task of polyphonic music transcription, using so-called invertible neural networks. Invertible models unify both discriminative and generative aspects in one function, sharing one set of…
