DeepFake Audio, unlike DeepFake images and videos, has been relatively less explored from detection perspective, and the solutions which exist for the synthetic speech classification either use complex networks or dont generalize to…

The speech enhancement task usually consists of removing additive noise or reverberation that partially mask spoken utterances, affecting their intelligibility. However, little attention is drawn to other, perhaps more aggressive signal…

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.…

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.…

Naturally introduced perturbations in audio signal, caused by emotional and physical states of the speaker, can significantly degrade the performance of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. In this paper, we propose a front-end based…

This paper adapts a StyleGAN model for speech generation with minimal or no conditioning on text. StyleGAN is a multi-scale convolutional GAN capable of hierarchically capturing data structure and latent variation on multiple spatial (or…

The utilization of face masks is an essential healthcare measure, particularly during times of pandemics, yet it can present challenges in communication in our daily lives. To address this problem, we propose a novel approach known as the…

Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) is a model for data synthesis, which creates plausible data through the competition of generator and discriminator. Although GAN application to image synthesis is extensively studied, it has inherent…

Neural network based approaches to speech enhancement have shown to be particularly powerful, being able to leverage a data-driven approach to result in a significant performance gain versus other approaches. Such approaches are reliant on…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are of vital importance nowadays in commonplace tasks such as speech-to-text processing and language translation. This created the need for an ASR system that can operate in realistic crowded…

Deep learning has revolutionised synthetic speech quality. However, it has thus far delivered little value to the speech science community. The new methods do not meet the controllability demands that practitioners in this area require…

Cycle-consistent generative adversarial networks (CycleGAN) were successfully applied to speech enhancement (SE) tasks with unpaired noisy-clean training data. The CycleGAN SE system adopted two generators and two discriminators trained…

Recently, GAN vocoders have seen rapid progress in speech synthesis, starting to outperform autoregressive models in perceptual quality with much higher generation speed. However, autoregressive vocoders are still the common choice for…

In speech synthesis, a generative adversarial network (GAN), training a generator (speech synthesizer) and a discriminator in a min-max game, is widely used to improve speech quality. An ensemble of discriminators is commonly used in recent…

In this paper we demonstrate that it is possible to generate more meaningful electroencephalography (EEG) features from raw EEG features using generative adversarial networks (GAN) to improve the performance of EEG based continuous speech…

Efficient audio synthesis is an inherently difficult machine learning task, as human perception is sensitive to both global structure and fine-scale waveform coherence. Autoregressive models, such as WaveNet, model local structure at the…

The discrepancy between the cost function used for training a speech enhancement model and human auditory perception usually makes the quality of enhanced speech unsatisfactory. Objective evaluation metrics which consider human perception…

Dysarthria is a motor speech impairment affecting millions of people. Dysarthric speech can be far less intelligible than those of non-dysarthric speakers, causing significant communication difficulties. The goal of our work is to develop a…

Generative models such as the variational autoencoder (VAE) and the generative adversarial networks (GAN) have proven to be incredibly powerful for the generation of synthetic data that preserves statistical properties and utility of…

The perceptual task of speech quality assessment (SQA) is a challenging task for machines to do. Objective SQA methods that rely on the availability of the corresponding clean reference have been the primary go-to approaches for SQA.…
