Generalization of Spectrum Differential based Direct Waveform Modification for Voice Conversion
Wen-Chin Huang, Yi-Chiao Wu, Kazuhiro Kobayashi +6
We present a modification to the spectrum differential based direct waveform modification for voice conversion (DIFFVC) so that it can be directly applied as a waveform generation…
Non-Parallel Voice Conversion with Cyclic Variational Autoencoder
Patrick Lumban Tobing, Yi-Chiao Wu, Tomoki Hayashi +2
In this paper, we present a novel technique for a non-parallel voice conversion (VC) with the use of cyclic variational autoencoder (CycleVAE)-based spectral modeling. In a variati…
Statistical Voice Conversion with Quasi-Periodic WaveNet Vocoder
Yi-Chiao Wu, Patrick Lumban Tobing, Tomoki Hayashi +2
In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of a quasi-periodic WaveNet (QPNet) vocoder combined with a statistical spectral conversion technique for a voice conversion task. T…
Quasi-Periodic WaveNet Vocoder: A Pitch Dependent Dilated Convolution Model for Parametric Speech Generation
Yi-Chiao Wu, Tomoki Hayashi, Patrick Lumban Tobing +2
In this paper, we propose a quasi-periodic neural network (QPNet) vocoder with a novel network architecture named pitch-dependent dilated convolution (PDCNN) to improve the pitch c…
Investigation of F0 conditioning and Fully Convolutional Networks in Variational Autoencoder based Voice Conversion
Wen-Chin Huang, Yi-Chiao Wu, Chen-Chou Lo +6
In this work, we investigate the effectiveness of two techniques for improving variational autoencoder (VAE) based voice conversion (VC). First, we reconsider the relationship betw…
