Building cross-lingual voice conversion (VC) systems for multiple speakers and multiple languages has been a challenging task for a long time. This paper describes a parallel non-autoregressive network to achieve bilingual and code-switched…

This paper tackles GAN optimization and stability issues in the context of voice conversion. First, to simplify the conversion task, we propose to use spectral envelopes as inputs. Second we propose two adversarial weight training…

Non-parallel voice conversion (VC) is a technique for training voice converters without a parallel corpus. Cycle-consistent adversarial network-based VCs (CycleGAN-VC and CycleGAN-VC2) are widely accepted as benchmark methods. However,…

This paper proposes a voice conversion (VC) method based on a sequence-to-sequence (S2S) learning framework, which enables simultaneous conversion of the voice characteristics, pitch contour, and duration of input speech. We previously…

This paper proposes Scyclone, a high-quality voice conversion (VC) technique without parallel data training. Scyclone improves speech naturalness and speaker similarity of the converted speech by introducing CycleGAN-based spectrogram…

Non-parallel voice conversion aims to convert voice from a source domain to a target domain without paired training data. Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks (CycleGAN) and Variational Autoencoders (VAE) have been used for this…

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a Cycle-GAN based voice converter (VC) on four speaker identification (SID) systems and an automated speech recognition (ASR) system for various purposes. Audio samples converted by the VC model are…

Here we present a novel approach to conditioning the SampleRNN generative model for voice conversion (VC). Conventional methods for VC modify the perceived speaker identity by converting between source and target acoustic features. Our…

Voice conversion has gained increasing popularity in many applications of speech synthesis. The idea is to change the voice identity from one speaker into another while keeping the linguistic content unchanged. Many voice conversion…

Preserving the linguistic content of input speech is essential during voice conversion (VC). The star generative adversarial network-based VC method (StarGAN-VC) is a recently developed method that allows non-parallel many-to-many VC.…

We introduce a novel method for emotion conversion in speech that does not require parallel training data. Our approach loosely relies on a cycle-GAN schema to minimize the reconstruction error from converting back and forth between emotion…

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…

We propose a learning-based filter that allows us to directly modify a synthetic speech waveform into a natural speech waveform. Speech-processing systems using a vocoder framework such as statistical parametric speech synthesis and voice…

Voice conversion is a challenging task which transforms the voice characteristics of a source speaker to a target speaker without changing linguistic content. Recently, there have been many works on many-to-many Voice Conversion (VC) based…

This paper introduces FastVC, an end-to-end model for fast Voice Conversion (VC). The proposed model can convert speech of arbitrary length from multiple source speakers to multiple target speakers. FastVC is based on a conditional…

In this paper, we propose a non-parallel any-to-many voice conversion (VC) method termed VoiceGrad. Inspired by WaveGrad, a recently introduced novel waveform generation method, VoiceGrad is based upon the concepts of score matching and…

Voice conversion (VC) modifies voice characteristics while preserving linguistic content. This paper presents the Stepback network, a novel model for converting speaker identity using non-parallel data. Unlike traditional VC methods that…

We propose a novel architecture and improved training objectives for non-parallel voice conversion. Our proposed CycleGAN-based model performs a shape-preserving transformation directly on a high frequency-resolution magnitude spectrogram,…

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…

In this study, we explore the transformer's ability to capture intra-relations among frames by augmenting the receptive field of models. Concretely, we propose a CycleGAN-based model with the transformer and investigate its ability in the…
