This paper describes a human-in-the-loop approach to personalized voice synthesis in the absence of reference speech data from the target speaker. It is intended to help vocally disabled individuals restore their lost voices without…

We present a meta-learning approach for adaptive text-to-speech (TTS) with few data. During training, we learn a multi-speaker model using a shared conditional WaveNet core and independent learned embeddings for each speaker. The aim of…

Personalizing a speech synthesis system is a highly desired application, where the system can generate speech with the user's voice with rare enrolled recordings. There are two main approaches to build such a system in recent works: speaker…

In recent years, neural network based methods for multi-speaker text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) have made significant progress. However, the current speaker encoder models used in these methods still cannot capture enough speaker…

We describe a neural network-based system for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis that is able to generate speech audio in the voice of many different speakers, including those unseen during training. Our system consists of three independently…

This paper proposes novel algorithms for speaker embedding using subjective inter-speaker similarity based on deep neural networks (DNNs). Although conventional DNN-based speaker embedding such as a $d$-vector can be applied to…

In previous work, we developed a closed-loop speech chain model based on deep learning, in which the architecture enabled the automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) components to mutually improve their…

Text-to-speech systems recently achieved almost indistinguishable quality from human speech. However, the prosody of those systems is generally flatter than natural speech, producing samples with low expressiveness. Disentanglement of…

We present a new neural text to speech (TTS) method that is able to transform text to speech in voices that are sampled in the wild. Unlike other systems, our solution is able to deal with unconstrained voice samples and without requiring…

This paper proposes a guided speaker embedding extraction system, which extracts speaker embeddings of the target speaker using speech activities of target and interference speakers as clues. Several methods for long-form overlapped…

The mapping of text to speech (TTS) is non-deterministic, letters may be pronounced differently based on context, or phonemes can vary depending on various physiological and stylistic factors like gender, age, accent, emotions, etc. Neural…

We propose a self-speaker adaptation method for streaming multi-talker automatic speech recognition (ASR) that eliminates the need for explicit speaker queries. Unlike conventional approaches requiring target speaker embeddings or…

Text mismatch between pre-collected data, either training data or enrollment data, and the actual test data can significantly hurt text-dependent speaker verification (SV) system performance. Although this problem can be solved by carefully…

Zero-shot multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) systems rely on speaker embeddings to synthesize speech in the voice of an unseen speaker, using only a short reference utterance. While many speaker embeddings have been developed for speaker…

The presence of multiple talkers in the surrounding environment poses a difficult challenge for real-time speech communication systems considering the constraints on network size and complexity. In this paper, we present Personalized…

This paper presents a novel framework to build a voice conversion (VC) system by learning from a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system, that is called TTS-VC transfer learning. We first develop a multi-speaker speech synthesis system with…

End-to-end models are fast replacing the conventional hybrid models in automatic speech recognition. Transformer, a sequence-to-sequence model, based on self-attention popularly used in machine translation tasks, has given promising results…

In multi-speaker applications is common to have pre-computed models from enrolled speakers. Using these models to identify the instances in which these speakers intervene in a recording is the task of speaker tracking. In this paper, we…

Voice cloning is a highly desired feature for personalized speech interfaces. Neural network based speech synthesis has been shown to generate high quality speech for a large number of speakers. In this paper, we introduce a neural voice…

In this paper, we propose an online speaker adaptation method for WaveNet-based neural vocoders in order to improve their performance on speaker-independent waveform generation. In this method, a speaker encoder is first constructed using a…
