Recent neural networks such as WaveNet and sampleRNN that learn directly from speech waveform samples have achieved very high-quality synthetic speech in terms of both naturalness and speaker similarity even in multi-speaker text-to-speech…

We propose TalkNet, a non-autoregressive convolutional neural model for speech synthesis with explicit pitch and duration prediction. The model consists of three feed-forward convolutional networks. The first network predicts grapheme…

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have become the standard modeling technique for sequence data, and are used in a number of novel text-to-speech models. However, training a TTS model including RNN components has certain requirements for GPU…

We propose an end-to-end model based on convolutional and recurrent neural networks for speech enhancement. Our model is purely data-driven and does not make any assumptions about the type or the stationarity of the noise. In contrast to…

Deep learning based single-channel speech enhancement tries to train a neural network model for the prediction of clean speech signal. There are a variety of popular network structures for single-channel speech enhancement, such as TCNN,…

The conversion from text to speech relies on the accurate mapping from linguistic to acoustic symbol sequences, for which current practice employs recurrent statistical models like recurrent neural networks. Despite the good performance of…

The research presents a voice conversion model using coefficient mapping and neural network. Most previous works on parametric speech synthesis did not account for losses in spectral details causing over smoothing and invariably, an…

Traditional speech enhancement systems produce speech with compromised quality. Here we propose to use the high quality speech generation capability of neural vocoders for better quality speech enhancement. We term this parametric…

While traditional statistical signal processing model-based methods can derive the optimal estimators relying on specific statistical assumptions, current learning-based methods further promote the performance upper bound via deep neural…

A promising approach for multi-microphone speech separation involves two deep neural networks (DNN), where the predicted target speech from the first DNN is used to compute signal statistics for time-invariant minimum variance…

This paper proposes speaker-adaptive neural vocoders for parametric text-to-speech (TTS) systems. Recently proposed WaveNet-based neural vocoding systems successfully generate a time sequence of speech signal with an autoregressive…

In speech synthesis and speech enhancement systems, melspectrograms need to be precise in acoustic representations. However, the generated spectrograms are over-smooth, that could not produce high quality synthesized speech. Inspired by…

Recent advances in generative language modeling applied to discrete speech tokens presented a new avenue for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. These speech language models (SLMs), similarly to their textual counterparts, are scalable,…

Mean opinion score (MOS) is a popular subjective metric to assess the quality of synthesized speech, and usually involves multiple human judges to evaluate each speech utterance. To reduce the labor cost in MOS test, multiple methods have…

This paper describes the design of a neural network that performs the phonetic-to-acoustic mapping in a speech synthesis system. The use of a time-domain neural network architecture limits discontinuities that occur at phone boundaries.…

It is desirable for a text-to-speech system to take into account the environment where synthetic speech is presented, and provide appropriate context-dependent output to the user. In this paper, we present and compare various approaches for…
