Creating New Voices using Normalizing Flows
Piotr Bilinski, Thomas Merritt, Abdelhamid Ezzerg +5
Creating realistic and natural-sounding synthetic speech remains a big challenge for voice identities unseen during training. As there is growing interest in synthesizing voices of…
Cross-lingual Knowledge Distillation via Flow-based Voice Conversion for Robust Polyglot Text-To-Speech
Dariusz Piotrowski, Renard Korzeniowski, Alessio Falai +5
In this work, we introduce a framework for cross-lingual speech synthesis, which involves an upstream Voice Conversion (VC) model and a downstream Text-To-Speech (TTS) model. The p…
Comparing normalizing flows and diffusion models for prosody and acoustic modelling in text-to-speech
Guangyan Zhang, Thomas Merritt, Manuel Sam Ribeiro +10
Neural text-to-speech systems are often optimized on L1/L2 losses, which make strong assumptions about the distributions of the target data space. Aiming to improve those assumptio…
On granularity of prosodic representations in expressive text-to-speech
Mikolaj Babianski, Kamil Pokora, Raahil Shah +3
In expressive speech synthesis it is widely adopted to use latent prosody representations to deal with variability of the data during training. Same text may correspond to various…
