To build speech processing methods that can handle speech as naturally as humans, researchers have explored multiple ways of building an invertible mapping from speech to an interpretable space. The articulatory space is a promising…

We investigated the training of a shared model for both text-to-speech (TTS) and voice conversion (VC) tasks. We propose using an extended model architecture of Tacotron, that is a multi-source sequence-to-sequence model with a dual…

A recent line of research on spoken language assessment (SLA) employs neural models such as BERT and wav2vec 2.0 (W2V) to evaluate speaking proficiency across linguistic and acoustic modalities. Although both models effectively capture…

In this report, we describe our submission to the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge (VoxSRC) 2020. Two approaches are adopted. One is to apply query expansion on speaker verification, which shows significant progress compared to…

Mel-scale spectrum features are used in various recognition and classification tasks on speech signals. There is no reason to expect that these features are optimal for all different tasks, including speaker verification (SV). This paper…

Goal: Numerous studies had successfully differentiated normal and abnormal voice samples. Nevertheless, further classification had rarely been attempted. This study proposes a novel approach, using continuous Mandarin speech instead of a…

Recently, cycle-consistent adversarial network (Cycle-GAN) has been successfully applied to voice conversion to a different speaker without parallel data, although in those approaches an individual model is needed for each target speaker.…

This report describes the submission from Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) to the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge (VoxSRC-20) at Interspeech 2020. The final submission is a combination of three systems. System-1 is an…

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…

One-shot style transfer is a challenging task, since training on one utterance makes model extremely easy to over-fit to training data and causes low speaker similarity and lack of expressiveness. In this paper, we build on the…

Building a voice conversion system for noisy target speakers, such as users providing noisy samples or Internet found data, is a challenging task since the use of contaminated speech in model training will apparently degrade the conversion…

This report describes the NPU-HC speaker verification system submitted to the O-COCOSDA Multi-lingual Speaker Verification (MSV) Challenge 2022, which focuses on developing speaker verification systems for low-resource Asian languages. We…

Voice conversion (VC) systems can transform audio to mimic another speaker's voice, thereby attacking speaker verification (SV) systems. However, ongoing studies on source speaker verification (SSV) are hindered by limited data availability…

Existing objective evaluation metrics for voice conversion (VC) are not always correlated with human perception. Therefore, training VC models with such criteria may not effectively improve naturalness and similarity of converted speech. In…

To realize any-to-any (A2A) voice conversion (VC), most methods are to perform symmetric self-supervised reconstruction tasks (Xi to Xi), which usually results in inefficient performances due to inadequate feature decoupling, especially for…

Inspired by recent work on neural network image generation which rely on backpropagation towards the network inputs, we present a proof-of-concept system for speech texture synthesis and voice conversion based on two mechanisms: approximate…

Text-dependent speaker verification is becoming popular in the speaker recognition society. However, the conventional i-vector framework which has been successful for speaker identification and other similar tasks works relatively poorly in…

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…

Automatic speech quality assessment is essential for audio researchers, developers, speech and language pathologists, and system quality engineers. The current state-of-the-art systems are based on framewise speech features (hand-engineered…

This paper describes the NPU-MSXF system for the IWSLT 2023 speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) task which aims to translate from English speech of multi-source to Chinese speech. The system is built in a cascaded manner consisting of…
