Cross-lingual Knowledge Distillation via Flow-based Voice Conversion for Robust Polyglot Text-To-Speech
Dariusz Piotrowski, Renard Korzeniowski, Alessio Falai +5
In this work, we introduce a framework for cross-lingual speech synthesis, which involves an upstream Voice Conversion (VC) model and a downstream Text-To-Speech (TTS) model. The p…

Unify and Conquer: How Phonetic Feature Representation Affects Polyglot Text-To-Speech (TTS)
Ariadna Sanchez, Alessio Falai, Ziyao Zhang +2
An essential design decision for multilingual Neural Text-To-Speech (NTTS) systems is how to represent input linguistic features within the model. Looking at the wide variety of ap…

Mix and Match: An Empirical Study on Training Corpus Composition for Polyglot Text-To-Speech (TTS)
Ziyao Zhang, Alessio Falai, Ariadna Sanchez +2
Training multilingual Neural Text-To-Speech (NTTS) models using only monolingual corpora has emerged as a popular way for building voice cloning based Polyglot NTTS systems. In ord…
