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…
Oscillating Statistical Moments for Speech Polarity Detection
Thomas Drugman, Thierry Dutoit
An inversion of the speech polarity may have a dramatic detrimental effect on the performance of various techniques of speech processing. An automatic method for determining the sp…
Glottal Source Estimation using an Automatic Chirp Decomposition
Thomas Drugman, Baris Bozkurt, Thierry Dutoit
In a previous work, we showed that the glottal source can be estimated from speech signals by computing the Zeros of the Z-Transform (ZZT). Decomposition was achieved by separating…
Chirp Complex Cepstrum-based Decomposition for Asynchronous Glottal Analysis
Thomas Drugman, Thierry Dutoit
It was recently shown that complex cepstrum can be effectively used for glottal flow estimation by separating the causal and anticausal components of speech. In order to guarantee…
On the Mutual Information between Source and Filter Contributions for Voice Pathology Detection
Thomas Drugman, Thomas Dubuisson, Thierry Dutoit
This paper addresses the problem of automatic detection of voice pathologies directly from the speech signal. For this, we investigate the use of the glottal source estimation as a…
Excitation-based Voice Quality Analysis and Modification
Thomas Drugman, Thierry Dutoit, Baris Bozkurt
This paper investigates the differences occuring in the excitation for different voice qualities. Its goal is two-fold. First a large corpus containing three voice qualities (modal…
