PASQA: Pitch-Accent-Focused Speech Quality Assessment Model Trained on Synthetic Speech with Accent Errors
Masaya Kawamura, Yuma Shirahata, Kentaro Mitsui +1
Existing mean opinion score (MOS) prediction models typically predict utterance-level naturalness MOS and can be insensitive to localized pitch-accent errors. We propose Pitch-Acce…
Investigating Human-Model Discrepancies in Speech Quality Assessment via Acoustic and Prosodic Perturbations
Masato Takagi, Masaya Kawamura, Reo Shimizu +1
Mean opinion score (MOS) prediction models are widely used as proxy metrics in text-to-speech (TTS) research, yet their ability to capture quality differences beyond acoustic fidel…
Schödinger Bridge Type Diffusion Models as an Extension of Variational Autoencoders
Kentaro Kaba, Reo Shimizu, Masayuki Ohzeki +1
Generative diffusion models use time-forward and backward stochastic differential equations to connect the data and prior distributions. While conventional diffusion models (e.g.,…
PromptTTS++: Controlling Speaker Identity in Prompt-Based Text-to-Speech Using Natural Language Descriptions
Reo Shimizu, Ryuichi Yamamoto, Masaya Kawamura +4
We propose PromptTTS++, a prompt-based text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system that allows control over speaker identity using natural language descriptions. To control speaker ident…
