Analysis and Assessment of Controllability of an Expressive Deep Learning-based TTS system
Noé Tits, Kevin El Haddad, Thierry Dutoit
In this paper, we study the controllability of an Expressive TTS system trained on a dataset for a continuous control. The dataset is the Blizzard 2013 dataset based on audiobooks…
ICE-Talk: an Interface for a Controllable Expressive Talking Machine
Noé Tits, Kevin El Haddad, Thierry Dutoit
ICE-Talk is an open source web-based GUI that allows the use of a TTS system with controllable parameters via a text field and a clickable 2D plot. It enables the study of latent s…
Laughter Synthesis: Combining Seq2seq modeling with Transfer Learning
Noé Tits, Kevin El Haddad, Thierry Dutoit
Despite the growing interest for expressive speech synthesis, synthesis of nonverbal expressions is an under-explored area. In this paper we propose an audio laughter synthesis sys…
Parametric Representation for Singing Voice Synthesis: a Comparative Evaluation
Onur Babacan, Thomas Drugman, Tuomo Raitio +2
Various parametric representations have been proposed to model the speech signal. While the performance of such vocoders is well-known in the context of speech processing, their ex…
Analysis and Synthesis of Hypo and Hyperarticulated Speech
Benjamin Picart, Thomas Drugman, Thierry Dutoit
This paper focuses on the analysis and synthesis of hypo and hyperarticulated speech in the framework of HMM-based speech synthesis. First of all, a new French database matching ou…
Glottal source estimation robustness: A comparison of sensitivity of voice source estimation techniques
Thomas Drugman, Thomas Dubuisson, Alexis Moinet +2
This paper addresses the problem of estimating the voice source directly from speech waveforms. A novel principle based on Anticausality Dominated Regions (ACDR) is used to estimat…
