Denoising-and-Dereverberation Hierarchical Neural Vocoder for Robust Waveform Generation
Yang Ai, Haoyu Li, Xin Wang +2
This paper presents a denoising and dereverberation hierarchical neural vocoder (DNR-HiNet) to convert noisy and reverberant acoustic features into a clean speech waveform. We impl…
How Similar or Different Is Rakugo Speech Synthesizer to Professional Performers?
Shuhei Kato, Yusuke Yasuda, Xin Wang +2
We have been working on speech synthesis for rakugo (a traditional Japanese form of verbal entertainment similar to one-person stand-up comedy) toward speech synthesis that authent…
End-to-End Text-to-Speech using Latent Duration based on VQ-VAE
Yusuke Yasuda, Xin Wang, Junichi Yamagishi
Explicit duration modeling is a key to achieving robust and efficient alignment in text-to-speech synthesis (TTS). We propose a new TTS framework using explicit duration modeling t…
Tandem Assessment of Spoofing Countermeasures and Automatic Speaker Verification: Fundamentals
Tomi Kinnunen, Héctor Delgado, Nicholas Evans +8
Recent years have seen growing efforts to develop spoofing countermeasures (CMs) to protect automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems from being deceived by manipulated or artif…
Reverberation Modeling for Source-Filter-based Neural Vocoder
Yang Ai, Xin Wang, Junichi Yamagishi +1
This paper presents a reverberation module for source-filter-based neural vocoders that improves the performance of reverberant effect modeling. This module uses the output wavefor…
Introducing the VoicePrivacy Initiative
Natalia Tomashenko, Brij Mohan Lal Srivastava, Xin Wang +8
The VoicePrivacy initiative aims to promote the development of privacy preservation tools for speech technology by gathering a new community to define the tasks of interest and the…
