ESPnet2-TTS: Extending the Edge of TTS Research
Tomoki Hayashi, Ryuichi Yamamoto, Takenori Yoshimura +7
This paper describes ESPnet2-TTS, an end-to-end text-to-speech (E2E-TTS) toolkit. ESPnet2-TTS extends our earlier version, ESPnet-TTS, by adding many new features, including: on-th…
Phrase break prediction with bidirectional encoder representations in Japanese text-to-speech synthesis
Kosuke Futamata, Byeongseon Park, Ryuichi Yamamoto +1
We propose a novel phrase break prediction method that combines implicit features extracted from a pre-trained large language model, a.k.a BERT, and explicit features extracted fro…
Improved parallel WaveGAN vocoder with perceptually weighted spectrogram loss
Eunwoo Song, Ryuichi Yamamoto, Min-Jae Hwang +3
This paper proposes a spectral-domain perceptual weighting technique for Parallel WaveGAN-based text-to-speech (TTS) systems. The recently proposed Parallel WaveGAN vocoder success…
