Singing voice synthesis based on frame-level sequence-to-sequence models considering vocal timing deviation
Miku Nishihara, Yukiya Hono, Kei Hashimoto +2
This paper proposes singing voice synthesis (SVS) based on frame-level sequence-to-sequence models considering vocal timing deviation. In SVS, it is essential to synchronize the ti…
Singing Voice Synthesis Based on a Musical Note Position-Aware Attention Mechanism
Yukiya Hono, Kei Hashimoto, Yoshihiko Nankaku +1
This paper proposes a novel sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) model with a musical note position-aware attention mechanism for singing voice synthesis (SVS). A seq2seq modeling approa…
Embedding a Differentiable Mel-cepstral Synthesis Filter to a Neural Speech Synthesis System
Takenori Yoshimura, Shinji Takaki, Kazuhiro Nakamura +5
This paper integrates a classic mel-cepstral synthesis filter into a modern neural speech synthesis system towards end-to-end controllable speech synthesis. Since the mel-cepstral…
End-to-End Text-to-Speech Based on Latent Representation of Speaking Styles Using Spontaneous Dialogue
Kentaro Mitsui, Tianyu Zhao, Kei Sawada +3
The recent text-to-speech (TTS) has achieved quality comparable to that of humans; however, its application in spoken dialogue has not been widely studied. This study aims to reali…
Neural Sequence-to-Sequence Speech Synthesis Using a Hidden Semi-Markov Model Based Structured Attention Mechanism
Yoshihiko Nankaku, Kenta Sumiya, Takenori Yoshimura +4
This paper proposes a novel Sequence-to-Sequence (Seq2Seq) model integrating the structure of Hidden Semi-Markov Models (HSMMs) into its attention mechanism. In speech synthesis, i…
Sinsy: A Deep Neural Network-Based Singing Voice Synthesis System
Yukiya Hono, Kei Hashimoto, Keiichiro Oura +2
