Multi-Scale Spectrogram Modelling for Neural Text-to-Speech
Ammar Abbas, Bajibabu Bollepalli, Alexis Moinet +6
We propose a novel Multi-Scale Spectrogram (MSS) modelling approach to synthesise speech with an improved coarse and fine-grained prosody. We present a generic multi-scale spectrog…
Voicy: Zero-Shot Non-Parallel Voice Conversion in Noisy Reverberant Environments
Alejandro Mottini, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Sri Vishnu Kumar Karlapati +1
Voice Conversion (VC) is a technique that aims to transform the non-linguistic information of a source utterance to change the perceived identity of the speaker. While there is a r…
A learned conditional prior for the VAE acoustic space of a TTS system
Penny Karanasou, Sri Karlapati, Alexis Moinet +5
Many factors influence speech yielding different renditions of a given sentence. Generative models, such as variational autoencoders (VAEs), capture this variability and allow mult…
Weakly-supervised word-level pronunciation error detection in non-native English speech
Daniel Korzekwa, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Thomas Drugman +2
We propose a weakly-supervised model for word-level mispronunciation detection in non-native (L2) English speech. To train this model, phonetically transcribed L2 speech is not req…
Mispronunciation Detection in Non-native (L2) English with Uncertainty Modeling
Daniel Korzekwa, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Szymon Zaporowski +3
A common approach to the automatic detection of mispronunciation in language learning is to recognize the phonemes produced by a student and compare it to the expected pronunciatio…
EmoCat: Language-agnostic Emotional Voice Conversion
Bastian Schnell, Goeric Huybrechts, Bartek Perz +2
Emotional voice conversion models adapt the emotion in speech without changing the speaker identity or linguistic content. They are less data hungry than text-to-speech models and…
