Audiovisual speaker conversion: jointly and simultaneously transforming facial expression and acoustic characteristics
Fuming Fang, Xin Wang, Junichi Yamagishi +1
An audiovisual speaker conversion method is presented for simultaneously transforming the facial expressions and voice of a source speaker into those of a target speaker. Transform…
STFT spectral loss for training a neural speech waveform model
Shinji Takaki, Toru Nakashika, Xin Wang +1
This paper proposes a new loss using short-time Fourier transform (STFT) spectra for the aim of training a high-performance neural speech waveform model that predicts raw continuou…
Investigation of enhanced Tacotron text-to-speech synthesis systems with self-attention for pitch accent language
Yusuke Yasuda, Xin Wang, Shinji Takaki +1
End-to-end speech synthesis is a promising approach that directly converts raw text to speech. Although it was shown that Tacotron2 outperforms classical pipeline systems with rega…
Neural source-filter-based waveform model for statistical parametric speech synthesis
Xin Wang, Shinji Takaki, Junichi Yamagishi
Neural waveform models such as the WaveNet are used in many recent text-to-speech systems, but the original WaveNet is quite slow in waveform generation because of its autoregressi…
Investigating accuracy of pitch-accent annotations in neural network-based speech synthesis and denoising effects
Hieu-Thi Luong, Xin Wang, Junichi Yamagishi +1
We investigated the impact of noisy linguistic features on the performance of a Japanese speech synthesis system based on neural network that uses WaveNet vocoder. We compared an i…
Deep Encoder-Decoder Models for Unsupervised Learning of Controllable Speech Synthesis
Gustav Eje Henter, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Xin Wang +1
Generating versatile and appropriate synthetic speech requires control over the output expression separate from the spoken text. Important non-textual speech variation is seldom an…
