Pseudo-Cepstrum: Pitch Modification for Mel-Based Neural Vocoders
Nikolaos Ellinas, Alexandra Vioni, Panos Kakoulidis +8
This paper introduces a cepstrum-based pitch modification method that can be applied to any mel-spectrogram representation. As a result, this method is compatible with any mel-base…
Generating Multilingual Gender-Ambiguous Text-to-Speech Voices
Konstantinos Markopoulos, Georgia Maniati, Georgios Vamvoukakis +9
The gender of any voice user interface is a key element of its perceived identity. Recently, there has been increasing interest in interfaces where the gender is ambiguous rather t…
Cross-lingual Text-To-Speech with Flow-based Voice Conversion for Improved Pronunciation
Nikolaos Ellinas, Georgios Vamvoukakis, Konstantinos Markopoulos +7
This paper presents a method for end-to-end cross-lingual text-to-speech (TTS) which aims to preserve the target language's pronunciation regardless of the original speaker's langu…
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…
Self-supervised learning for robust voice cloning
Konstantinos Klapsas, Nikolaos Ellinas, Karolos Nikitaras +8
Voice cloning is a difficult task which requires robust and informative features incorporated in a high quality TTS system in order to effectively copy an unseen speaker's voice. I…
Improved Prosodic Clustering for Multispeaker and Speaker-independent Phoneme-level Prosody Control
Myrsini Christidou, Alexandra Vioni, Nikolaos Ellinas +7
This paper presents a method for phoneme-level prosody control of F0 and duration on a multispeaker text-to-speech setup, which is based on prosodic clustering. An autoregressive a…
Rapping-Singing Voice Synthesis based on Phoneme-level Prosody Control
Konstantinos Markopoulos, Nikolaos Ellinas, Alexandra Vioni +8
In this paper, a text-to-rapping/singing system is introduced, which can be adapted to any speaker's voice. It utilizes a Tacotron-based multispeaker acoustic model trained on read…
Cross-lingual Low Resource Speaker Adaptation Using Phonological Features
Georgia Maniati, Nikolaos Ellinas, Konstantinos Markopoulos +5
The idea of using phonological features instead of phonemes as input to sequence-to-sequence TTS has been recently proposed for zero-shot multilingual speech synthesis. This approa…
High Quality Streaming Speech Synthesis with Low, Sentence-Length-Independent Latency
Nikolaos Ellinas, Georgios Vamvoukakis, Konstantinos Markopoulos +7
This paper presents an end-to-end text-to-speech system with low latency on a CPU, suitable for real-time applications. The system is composed of an autoregressive attention-based…
