Period VITS: Variational Inference with Explicit Pitch Modeling for End-to-end Emotional Speech Synthesis
Yuma Shirahata, Ryuichi Yamamoto, Eunwoo Song +3
Several fully end-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) models have been proposed that have shown better performance compared to cascade models (i.e., training acoustic and vocoder models se…
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…
Cross-Speaker Emotion Transfer for Low-Resource Text-to-Speech Using Non-Parallel Voice Conversion with Pitch-Shift Data Augmentation
Ryo Terashima, Ryuichi Yamamoto, Eunwoo Song +4
Data augmentation via voice conversion (VC) has been successfully applied to low-resource expressive text-to-speech (TTS) when only neutral data for the target speaker are availabl…
