Any-to-One Sequence-to-Sequence Voice Conversion using Self-Supervised Discrete Speech Representations
Wen-Chin Huang, Yi-Chiao Wu, Tomoki Hayashi +1
We present a novel approach to any-to-one (A2O) voice conversion (VC) in a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) framework. A2O VC aims to convert any speaker, including those unseen duri…
The NU Voice Conversion System for the Voice Conversion Challenge 2020: On the Effectiveness of Sequence-to-sequence Models and Autoregressive Neural Vocoders
Wen-Chin Huang, Patrick Lumban Tobing, Yi-Chiao Wu +2
In this paper, we present the voice conversion (VC) systems developed at Nagoya University (NU) for the Voice Conversion Challenge 2020 (VCC2020). We aim to determine the effective…
Baseline System of Voice Conversion Challenge 2020 with Cyclic Variational Autoencoder and Parallel WaveGAN
Patrick Lumban Tobing, Yi-Chiao Wu, Tomoki Toda
In this paper, we present a description of the baseline system of Voice Conversion Challenge (VCC) 2020 with a cyclic variational autoencoder (CycleVAE) and Parallel WaveGAN (PWG),…
Pretraining Techniques for Sequence-to-Sequence Voice Conversion
Wen-Chin Huang, Tomoki Hayashi, Yi-Chiao Wu +2
Sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) voice conversion (VC) models are attractive owing to their ability to convert prosody. Nonetheless, without sufficient data, seq2seq VC models can su…
Quasi-Periodic Parallel WaveGAN: A Non-autoregressive Raw Waveform Generative Model with Pitch-dependent Dilated Convolution Neural Network
Yi-Chiao Wu, Tomoki Hayashi, Takuma Okamoto +2
In this paper, we propose a quasi-periodic parallel WaveGAN (QPPWG) waveform generative model, which applies a quasi-periodic (QP) structure to a parallel WaveGAN (PWG) model using…
Quasi-Periodic WaveNet: An Autoregressive Raw Waveform Generative Model with Pitch-dependent Dilated Convolution Neural Network
Yi-Chiao Wu, Tomoki Hayashi, Patrick Lumban Tobing +2
In this paper, a pitch-adaptive waveform generative model named Quasi-Periodic WaveNet (QPNet) is proposed to improve the limited pitch controllability of vanilla WaveNet (WN) usin…
A Cyclical Post-filtering Approach to Mismatch Refinement of Neural Vocoder for Text-to-speech Systems
Yi-Chiao Wu, Patrick Lumban Tobing, Kazuki Yasuhara +3
Recently, the effectiveness of text-to-speech (TTS) systems combined with neural vocoders to generate high-fidelity speech has been shown. However, collecting the required training…
Quasi-Periodic Parallel WaveGAN Vocoder: A Non-autoregressive Pitch-dependent Dilated Convolution Model for Parametric Speech Generation
Yi-Chiao Wu, Tomoki Hayashi, Takuma Okamoto +2
In this paper, we propose a parallel WaveGAN (PWG)-like neural vocoder with a quasi-periodic (QP) architecture to improve the pitch controllability of PWG. PWG is a compact non-aut…
