Pitch-and-Spectrum-Aware Singing Quality Assessment with Bias Correction and Model Fusion
Yu-Fei Shi, Yang Ai, Ye-Xin Lu +2
We participated in track 2 of the VoiceMOS Challenge 2024, which aimed to predict the mean opinion score (MOS) of singing samples. Our submission secured the first place among all…
Incremental Disentanglement for Environment-Aware Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech Synthesis
Ye-Xin Lu, Hui-Peng Du, Zheng-Yan Sheng +2
This paper proposes an Incremental Disentanglement-based Environment-Aware zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) method, dubbed IDEA-TTS, that can synthesize speech for unseen speakers wh…
A Neural Denoising Vocoder for Clean Waveform Generation from Noisy Mel-Spectrogram based on Amplitude and Phase Predictions
Hui-Peng Du, Ye-Xin Lu, Yang Ai +1
This paper proposes a novel neural denoising vocoder that can generate clean speech waveforms from noisy mel-spectrograms. The proposed neural denoising vocoder consists of two com…
ESTVocoder: An Excitation-Spectral-Transformed Neural Vocoder Conditioned on Mel Spectrogram
Xiao-Hang Jiang, Hui-Peng Du, Yang Ai +2
This paper proposes ESTVocoder, a novel excitation-spectral-transformed neural vocoder within the framework of source-filter theory. The ESTVocoder transforms the amplitude and pha…
SAMOS: A Neural MOS Prediction Model Leveraging Semantic Representations and Acoustic Features
Yu-Fei Shi, Yang Ai, Ye-Xin Lu +2
Assessing the naturalness of speech using mean opinion score (MOS) prediction models has positive implications for the automatic evaluation of speech synthesis systems. Early MOS p…
MDCTCodec: A Lightweight MDCT-based Neural Audio Codec towards High Sampling Rate and Low Bitrate Scenarios
Xiao-Hang Jiang, Yang Ai, Rui-Chen Zheng +3
In this paper, we propose MDCTCodec, an efficient lightweight end-to-end neural audio codec based on the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT). The encoder takes the MDCT spect…
