Although recent works on neural vocoder have improved the quality of synthesized audio, there still exists a gap between generated and ground-truth audio in frequency space. This difference leads to spectral artifacts such as hissing noise…

Deep generative models for Speech Enhancement (SE) received increasing attention in recent years. The most prominent example are Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), while normalizing flows (NF) received less attention despite their…

The research in Environmental Sound Classification (ESC) has been progressively growing with the emergence of deep learning algorithms. However, data scarcity poses a major hurdle for any huge advance in this domain. Data augmentation…

We previously proposed a method that allows for nonparallel voice conversion (VC) by using a variant of generative adversarial networks (GANs) called StarGAN. The main features of our method, called StarGAN-VC, are as follows: First, it…

Audio signals are sampled at high temporal resolutions, and learning to synthesize audio requires capturing structure across a range of timescales. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have seen wide success at generating images that are…
