Two-stage training method for Japanese electrolaryngeal speech enhancement based on sequence-to-sequence voice conversion
Ding Ma, Lester Phillip Violeta, Kazuhiro Kobayashi +1
Sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) voice conversion (VC) models have greater potential in converting electrolaryngeal (EL) speech to normal speech (EL2SP) compared to conventional VC m…
A Preliminary Study of a Two-Stage Paradigm for Preserving Speaker Identity in Dysarthric Voice Conversion
Wen-Chin Huang, Kazuhiro Kobayashi, Yu-Huai Peng +4
We propose a new paradigm for maintaining speaker identity in dysarthric voice conversion (DVC). The poor quality of dysarthric speech can be greatly improved by statistical VC, bu…
Non-autoregressive sequence-to-sequence voice conversion
Tomoki Hayashi, Wen-Chin Huang, Kazuhiro Kobayashi +1
This paper proposes a novel voice conversion (VC) method based on non-autoregressive sequence-to-sequence (NAR-S2S) models. Inspired by the great success of NAR-S2S models such as…
crank: An Open-Source Software for Nonparallel Voice Conversion Based on Vector-Quantized Variational Autoencoder
Kazuhiro Kobayashi, Wen-Chin Huang, Yi-Chiao Wu +3
In this paper, we present an open-source software for developing a nonparallel voice conversion (VC) system named crank. Although we have released an open-source VC software based…
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…
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…
