Puffin: pitch-synchronous neural waveform generation for fullband speech on modest devices
Oliver Watts, Lovisa Wihlborg, Cassia Valentini-Botinhao
We present a neural vocoder designed with low-powered Alternative and Augmentative Communication devices in mind. By combining elements of successful modern vocoders with establish…
Autovocoder: Fast Waveform Generation from a Learned Speech Representation using Differentiable Digital Signal Processing
Jacob J Webber, Cassia Valentini-Botinhao, Evelyn Williams +2
Most state-of-the-art Text-to-Speech systems use the mel-spectrogram as an intermediate representation, to decompose the task into acoustic modelling and waveform generation. A mel…
Predicting pairwise preferences between TTS audio stimuli using parallel ratings data and anti-symmetric twin neural networks
Cassia Valentini-Botinhao, Manuel Sam Ribeiro, Oliver Watts +2
Automatically predicting the outcome of subjective listening tests is a challenging task. Ratings may vary from person to person even if preferences are consistent across listeners…
