Acoustic Modeling for Automatic Lyrics-to-Audio Alignment
Chitralekha Gupta, Emre Yılmaz, Haizhou Li
Automatic lyrics to polyphonic audio alignment is a challenging task not only because the vocals are corrupted by background music, but also there is a lack of annotated polyphonic…
VQVAE Unsupervised Unit Discovery and Multi-scale Code2Spec Inverter for Zerospeech Challenge 2019
Andros Tjandra, Berrak Sisman, Mingyang Zhang +3
We describe our submitted system for the ZeroSpeech Challenge 2019. The current challenge theme addresses the difficulty of constructing a speech synthesizer without any text or ph…
I4U Submission to NIST SRE 2018: Leveraging from a Decade of Shared Experiences
Kong Aik Lee, Ville Hautamaki, Tomi Kinnunen +43
The I4U consortium was established to facilitate a joint entry to NIST speaker recognition evaluations (SRE). The latest edition of such joint submission was in SRE 2018, in which…
Joint training framework for text-to-speech and voice conversion using multi-source Tacotron and WaveNet
Mingyang Zhang, Xin Wang, Fuming Fang +2
We investigated the training of a shared model for both text-to-speech (TTS) and voice conversion (VC) tasks. We propose using an extended model architecture of Tacotron, that is a…
Optimization of Speaker Extraction Neural Network with Magnitude and Temporal Spectrum Approximation Loss
Chenglin Xu, Wei Rao, Eng Siong Chng +1
The SpeakerBeam-FE (SBF) method is proposed for speaker extraction. It attempts to overcome the problem of unknown number of speakers in an audio recording during source separation…
Deep Spiking Neural Network with Spike Count based Learning Rule
Jibin Wu, Yansong Chua, Malu Zhang +3
Deep spiking neural networks (SNNs) support asynchronous event-driven computation, massive parallelism and demonstrate great potential to improve the energy efficiency of its synch…
Target Speaker Extraction for Overlapped Multi-Talker Speaker Verification
Wei Rao, Chenglin Xu, Eng Siong Chng +1
The performance of speaker verification degrades significantly when the test speech is corrupted by interference speakers. Speaker diarization does well to separate speakers if the…
A Vocoder-free WaveNet Voice Conversion with Non-Parallel Data
Xiaohai Tian, Eng Siong Chng, Haizhou Li
In a typical voice conversion system, vocoder is commonly used for speech-to-features analysis and features-to-speech synthesis. However, vocoder can be a source of speech quality…
