Transformation of low-quality device-recorded speech to high-quality speech using improved SEGAN model
Seyyed Saeed Sarfjoo, Xin Wang, Gustav Eje Henter +3
Nowadays vast amounts of speech data are recorded from low-quality recorder devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and medium-quality microphones. The objective of this res…
Transferring neural speech waveform synthesizers to musical instrument sounds generation
Yi Zhao, Xin Wang, Lauri Juvela +1
Recent neural waveform synthesizers such as WaveNet, WaveGlow, and the neural-source-filter (NSF) model have shown good performance in speech synthesis despite their different meth…
ASVspoof 2019: A large-scale public database of synthesized, converted and replayed speech
Xin Wang, Junichi Yamagishi, Massimiliano Todisco +37
Automatic speaker verification (ASV) is one of the most natural and convenient means of biometric person recognition. Unfortunately, just like all other biometric systems, ASV is v…
Modeling of Rakugo Speech and Its Limitations: Toward Speech Synthesis That Entertains Audiences
Shuhei Kato, Yusuke Yasuda, Xin Wang +3
We have been investigating rakugo speech synthesis as a challenging example of speech synthesis that entertains audiences. Rakugo is a traditional Japanese form of verbal entertain…
Effect of choice of probability distribution, randomness, and search methods for alignment modeling in sequence-to-sequence text-to-speech synthesis using hard alignment
Yusuke Yasuda, Xin Wang, Junichi Yamagishi
Sequence-to-sequence text-to-speech (TTS) is dominated by soft-attention-based methods. Recently, hard-attention-based methods have been proposed to prevent fatal alignment errors,…
Initial investigation of an encoder-decoder end-to-end TTS framework using marginalization of monotonic hard latent alignments
Yusuke Yasuda, Xin Wang, Junichi Yamagishi
End-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is a method that directly converts input text to output acoustic features using a single network. A recent advance of end-to-end TTS is du…
