Semi-supervised Learning for Singing Synthesis Timbre

Jordi Bonada, Merlijn Blaauw

We propose a semi-supervised singing synthesizer, which is able to learn new voices from audio data only, without any annotations such as phonetic segmentation. Our system is an en…

Deep Learning Based Source Separation Applied To Choir Ensembles

Darius Petermann, Pritish Chandna, Helena Cuesta +2

Choral singing is a widely practiced form of ensemble singing wherein a group of people sing simultaneously in polyphonic harmony. The most commonly practiced setting for choir ens…

Content Based Singing Voice Extraction From a Musical Mixture

Pritish Chandna, Merlijn Blaauw, Jordi Bonada +1

We present a deep learning based methodology for extracting the singing voice signal from a musical mixture based on the underlying linguistic content. Our model follows an encoder…

Sequence-to-sequence Singing Synthesis Using the Feed-forward Transformer

Merlijn Blaauw, Jordi Bonada

We propose a sequence-to-sequence singing synthesizer, which avoids the need for training data with pre-aligned phonetic and acoustic features. Rather than the more common approach…

A Vocoder Based Method For Singing Voice Extraction

Pritish Chandna, Merlijn Blaauw, Jordi Bonada +1

This paper presents a novel method for extracting the vocal track from a musical mixture. The musical mixture consists of a singing voice and a backing track which may comprise of…

A Neural Parametric Singing Synthesizer

Merlijn Blaauw, Jordi Bonada

We present a new model for singing synthesis based on a modified version of the WaveNet architecture. Instead of modeling raw waveform, we model features produced by a parametric v…

Improved multiple birdsong tracking with distribution derivative method and Markov renewal process clustering

Dan Stowell, Sašo Muševič, Jordi Bonada +1

Segregating an audio mixture containing multiple simultaneous bird sounds is a challenging task. However, birdsong often contains rapid pitch modulations, and these modulations car…
