In recent years, neural vocoders have surpassed classical speech generation approaches in naturalness and perceptual quality of the synthesized speech. Computationally heavy models like WaveNet and WaveGlow achieve best results, while…

Generative adversarial networks have seen rapid development in recent years and have led to remarkable improvements in generative modelling of images. However, their application in the audio domain has received limited attention, and…

Recently, GAN based speech synthesis methods, such as MelGAN, have become very popular. Compared to conventional autoregressive based methods, parallel structures based generators make waveform generation process fast and stable. However,…

Recently the state-of-the-art text-to-speech synthesis systems have shifted to a two-model approach: a sequence-to-sequence model to predict a representation of speech (typically mel-spectrograms), followed by a 'neural vocoder' model which…

We propose AudioStyleGAN (ASGAN), a new generative adversarial network (GAN) for unconditional speech synthesis. As in the StyleGAN family of image synthesis models, ASGAN maps sampled noise to a disentangled latent vector which is then…

Synthetic creation of drum sounds (e.g., in drum machines) is commonly performed using analog or digital synthesis, allowing a musician to sculpt the desired timbre modifying various parameters. Typically, such parameters control low-level…

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have gained a lot of attention from machine learning community due to their ability to learn and mimic an input data distribution. GANs consist of a discriminator and a generator working in tandem…

Modern text-to-speech synthesis pipelines typically involve multiple processing stages, each of which is designed or learnt independently from the rest. In this work, we take on the challenging task of learning to synthesise speech from…

The diffusion model is capable of generating high-quality data through a probabilistic approach. However, it suffers from the drawback of slow generation speed due to the requirement of a large number of time steps. To address this…

Speech enhancement is an essential task of improving speech quality in noise scenario. Several state-of-the-art approaches have introduced visual information for speech enhancement,since the visual aspect of speech is essentially unaffected…

While pre-trained automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems demonstrate impressive performance on matched domains, their performance often degrades when confronted with channel mismatch stemming from unseen recording environments and…

Expressive text-to-speech systems have undergone significant advancements owing to prosody modeling, but conventional methods can still be improved. Traditional approaches have relied on the autoregressive method to predict the quantized…
