Target speaker extraction (TSE) is a technique for isolating a target speaker's voice from mixed speech using auxiliary features associated with the target speaker. It is another attempt at addressing the cocktail party problem and is…

Modelling prosody variation is critical for synthesizing natural and expressive speech in end-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) systems. In this paper, a cross-utterance conditional VAE (CUC-VAE) is proposed to estimate a posterior probability…

Accent is an integral part of society, reflecting multiculturalism and shaping how individuals express identity. The majority of English speakers are non-native (L2) speakers, yet current Text-To-Speech (TTS) systems primarily model…

Text-guided audio editing aims to modify specific acoustic events while strictly preserving non-target content. Despite recent progress, existing approaches remain fundamentally limited. Training-free methods often suffer from signal…

This paper presents CrossVoice, a novel cascade-based Speech-to-Speech Translation (S2ST) system employing advanced ASR, MT, and TTS technologies with cross-lingual prosody preservation through transfer learning. We conducted comprehensive…

In target speaker extraction (TSE), we aim to recover target speech from a multi-talker mixture using a short enrollment utterance as reference. Recent studies on diffusion and flow-matching generators have improved target-speech fidelity.…

Expressive text-to-speech (TTS) has become a hot research topic recently, mainly focusing on modeling prosody in speech. Prosody modeling has several challenges: 1) the extracted pitch used in previous prosody modeling works have inevitable…

Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to isolate individual speaker voices from complex speech environments. The effectiveness of TSE systems is often compromised when the speaker characteristics are similar to each other. Recent research…

Although text-to-speech (TTS) systems have significantly improved, most TTS systems still have limitations in synthesizing speech with appropriate phrasing. For natural speech synthesis, it is important to synthesize the speech with a…

Current strategies for achieving fine-grained prosody control in speech synthesis entail extracting additional style embeddings or adopting more complex architectures. To enable zero-shot application of pretrained text-to-speech (TTS)…

Audio-visual target speaker extraction (AV-TSE) models primarily rely on visual cues from the target speaker. However, humans also leverage linguistic knowledge, such as syntactic constraints, next word prediction, and prior knowledge of…

Audio editing involves the arbitrary manipulation of audio content through precise control. Although text-guided diffusion models have made significant advancements in text-to-audio generation, they still face challenges in finding a…

Target Speaker Extraction (TSE) plays a critical role in enhancing speech signals in noisy and multi-speaker environments. This paper presents an end-to-end TSE model that incorporates Direction of Arrival (DOA) and beamwidth embeddings to…

Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to recover the speech of a desired speaker from a mixture given a short enrollment utterance, while speech enhancement (SE) focuses on improving speech quality under noisy conditions. Most existing TSE…

Accent Conversion (AC) seeks to change the accent of speech from one (source) to another (target) while preserving the speech content and speaker identity. However, many AC approaches rely on source-target parallel speech data. We propose a…

Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to extract the speech of a target speaker from mixtures containing multiple competing speakers. Conventional TSE systems predominantly rely on speaker cues, such as pre-enrolled speech, to identify and…

Neural codec language models achieve impressive zero-shot Text-to-Speech (TTS) by fully imitating the acoustic characteristics of a short speech prompt, including timbre, prosody, and paralinguistic information. However, such holistic…

Given a piece of speech and its transcript text, text-based speech editing aims to generate speech that can be seamlessly inserted into the given speech by editing the transcript. Existing methods adopt a two-stage approach: synthesize the…

Controllable speech generation methods typically rely on single or fixed prompts, hindering creativity and flexibility. These limitations make it difficult to meet specific user needs in certain scenarios, such as adjusting the style while…

Expressive text-to-speech (TTS) aims to synthesize different speaking style speech according to human's demands. Nowadays, there are two common ways to control speaking styles: (1) Pre-defining a group of speaking style and using…
