The Sequence-to-Sequence Baseline for the Voice Conversion Challenge 2020: Cascading ASR and TTS
Wen-Chin Huang, Tomoki Hayashi, Shinji Watanabe +1
This paper presents the sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) baseline system for the voice conversion challenge (VCC) 2020. We consider a naive approach for voice conversion (VC), which…
Predictions of Subjective Ratings and Spoofing Assessments of Voice Conversion Challenge 2020 Submissions
Rohan Kumar Das, Tomi Kinnunen, Wen-Chin Huang +5
The Voice Conversion Challenge 2020 is the third edition under its flagship that promotes intra-lingual semiparallel and cross-lingual voice conversion (VC). While the primary eval…
Voice Conversion Challenge 2020: Intra-lingual semi-parallel and cross-lingual voice conversion
Yi Zhao, Wen-Chin Huang, Xiaohai Tian +5
The voice conversion challenge is a bi-annual scientific event held to compare and understand different voice conversion (VC) systems built on a common dataset. In 2020, we organiz…
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…
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…
