Investigating Disentanglement in a Phoneme-level Speech Codec for Prosody Modeling

Sotirios Karapiperis, Nikolaos Ellinas, Alexandra Vioni +4

Most of the prevalent approaches in speech prosody modeling rely on learning global style representations in a continuous latent space which encode and transfer the attributes of r…

Predicting phoneme-level prosody latents using AR and flow-based Prior Networks for expressive speech synthesis

Konstantinos Klapsas, Karolos Nikitaras, Nikolaos Ellinas +5

A large part of the expressive speech synthesis literature focuses on learning prosodic representations of the speech signal which are then modeled by a prior distribution during i…

Fine-grained Noise Control for Multispeaker Speech Synthesis

Karolos Nikitaras, Georgios Vamvoukakis, Nikolaos Ellinas +7

A text-to-speech (TTS) model typically factorizes speech attributes such as content, speaker and prosody into disentangled representations.Recent works aim to additionally model th…
