KaraSinger: Score-Free Singing Voice Synthesis with VQ-VAE using Mel-spectrograms

Chien-Feng Liao, Jen-Yu Liu, Yi-Hsuan Yang

In this paper, we propose a novel neural network model called KaraSinger for a less-studied singing voice synthesis (SVS) task named score-free SVS, in which the prosody and melody…

MetricGAN: Generative Adversarial Networks based Black-box Metric Scores Optimization for Speech Enhancement

Szu-Wei Fu, Chien-Feng Liao, Yu Tsao +1

Adversarial loss in a conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) is not designed to directly optimize evaluation metrics of a target task, and thus, may not always guide the…

Learning with Learned Loss Function: Speech Enhancement with Quality-Net to Improve Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality

Szu-Wei Fu, Chien-Feng Liao, Yu Tsao

Utilizing a human-perception-related objective function to train a speech enhancement model has become a popular topic recently. The main reason is that the conventional mean squar…

Incorporating Symbolic Sequential Modeling for Speech Enhancement

Chien-Feng Liao, Yu Tsao, Xugang Lu +1

In a noisy environment, a lossy speech signal can be automatically restored by a listener if he/she knows the language well. That is, with the built-in knowledge of a "language mod…

Noise Adaptive Speech Enhancement using Domain Adversarial Training

Chien-Feng Liao, Yu Tsao, Hung-Yi Lee +1

In this study, we propose a novel noise adaptive speech enhancement (SE) system, which employs a domain adversarial training (DAT) approach to tackle the issue of a noise type mism…
