In this paper we demonstrate methods for reliable and efficient training of discrete representation using Vector-Quantized Variational Auto-Encoder models (VQ-VAEs). Discrete latent variable models have been shown to learn nontrivial…

In this paper, we propose to pre-train audio encoders using synthetic patterns instead of real audio data. Our proposed framework consists of two key elements. The first one is Masked Autoencoder (MAE), a self-supervised learning framework…

Recent research has delved into speech enhancement (SE) approaches that leverage audio embeddings from pre-trained models, diverging from time-frequency masking or signal prediction techniques. This paper introduces an efficient and…

The human perception system is often assumed to recruit motor knowledge when processing auditory speech inputs. Using articulatory modeling and deep learning, this study examines how this articulatory information can be used for discovering…

Recently, sequence-to-sequence models with attention have been successfully applied in Text-to-speech (TTS). These models can generate near-human speech with a large accurately-transcribed speech corpus. However, preparing such a large…

We consider the task of unsupervised extraction of meaningful latent representations of speech by applying autoencoding neural networks to speech waveforms. The goal is to learn a representation able to capture high level semantic content…

Expressive speech synthesis requires vibrant prosody and well-timed pauses. We propose an effective strategy to augment a small dataset to train an expressive end-to-end Text-to-Speech model. We merge audios of emotionally congruent text…

This paper introduces a multi-scale speech style modeling method for end-to-end expressive speech synthesis. The proposed method employs a multi-scale reference encoder to extract both the global-scale utterance-level and the local-scale…

Recent advancements in Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems have enabled the generation of natural and expressive speech from textual input. Accented TTS aims to enhance user experience by making the synthesized speech more relatable to minority…

This paper presents a generative approach to speech enhancement based on a recurrent variational autoencoder (RVAE). The deep generative speech model is trained using clean speech signals only, and it is combined with a nonnegative matrix…

Recently, a generative variational autoencoder (VAE) has been proposed for speech enhancement to model speech statistics. However, this approach only uses clean speech in the training phase, making the estimation particularly sensitive to…

Artificial speech synthesis has made a great leap in terms of naturalness as recent Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems are capable of producing speech with similar quality to human recordings. However, not all speaking styles are easy to model:…

Neural style transfer, allowing to apply the artistic style of one image to another, has become one of the most widely showcased computer vision applications shortly after its introduction. In contrast, related tasks in the music audio…

This paper presents an analysis of speech synthesis quality achieved by simultaneously performing voice conversion and language code-switching using multilingual VQ-VAE speech synthesis in German, French, English and Italian. In this paper,…

Variational autoencoder-based voice conversion (VAE-VC) has the advantage of requiring only pairs of speeches and speaker labels for training. Unlike the majority of the research in VAE-VC which focuses on utilizing auxiliary losses or…

Recently, audio-visual speech enhancement has been tackled in the unsupervised settings based on variational auto-encoders (VAEs), where during training only clean data is used to train a generative model for speech, which at test time is…

Human speech conveys prosody, linguistic content, and speaker identity. This article investigates a novel speaker anonymization approach using an end-to-end network based on a Vector-Quantized Variational Auto-Encoder (VQ-VAE) to deal with…

Speech enhancement significantly improves the clarity and intelligibility of speech in noisy environments, improving communication and listening experiences. In this paper, we introduce a novel pretraining feature-guided diffusion model…

Recent studies have explored the use of deep generative models of speech spectra based of variational autoencoders (VAEs), combined with unsupervised noise models, to perform speech enhancement. These studies developed iterative algorithms…

Deep generative models applied to audio have improved by a large margin the state-of-the-art in many speech and music related tasks. However, as raw waveform modelling remains an inherently difficult task, audio generative models are either…
