Paralinguistics-Aware Speech-Empowered Large Language Models for Natural Conversation
Heeseung Kim, Soonshin Seo, Kyeongseok Jeong +9
Recent work shows promising results in expanding the capabilities of large language models (LLM) to directly understand and synthesize speech. However, an LLM-based strategy for mo…
Language Model-Based Emotion Prediction Methods for Emotional Speech Synthesis Systems
Hyun-Wook Yoon, Ohsung Kwon, Hoyeon Lee +4
This paper proposes an effective emotional text-to-speech (TTS) system with a pre-trained language model (LM)-based emotion prediction method. Unlike conventional systems that requ…
TTS-by-TTS 2: Data-selective augmentation for neural speech synthesis using ranking support vector machine with variational autoencoder
Eunwoo Song, Ryuichi Yamamoto, Ohsung Kwon +6
Recent advances in synthetic speech quality have enabled us to train text-to-speech (TTS) systems by using synthetic corpora. However, merely increasing the amount of synthetic dat…
Improved parallel WaveGAN vocoder with perceptually weighted spectrogram loss
Eunwoo Song, Ryuichi Yamamoto, Min-Jae Hwang +3
This paper proposes a spectral-domain perceptual weighting technique for Parallel WaveGAN-based text-to-speech (TTS) systems. The recently proposed Parallel WaveGAN vocoder success…
Neural text-to-speech with a modeling-by-generation excitation vocoder
Eunwoo Song, Min-Jae Hwang, Ryuichi Yamamoto +3
This paper proposes a modeling-by-generation (MbG) excitation vocoder for a neural text-to-speech (TTS) system. Recently proposed neural excitation vocoders can realize qualified w…
Effective parameter estimation methods for an ExcitNet model in generative text-to-speech systems
Ohsung Kwon, Eunwoo Song, Jae-Min Kim +1
In this paper, we propose a high-quality generative text-to-speech (TTS) system using an effective spectrum and excitation estimation method. Our previous research verified the eff…
