CycleGAN-VC3: Examining and Improving CycleGAN-VCs for Mel-spectrogram Conversion
Takuhiro Kaneko, Hirokazu Kameoka, Kou Tanaka +1
Non-parallel voice conversion (VC) is a technique for learning mappings between source and target speeches without using a parallel corpus. Recently, cycle-consistent adversarial n…
VoiceGrad: Non-Parallel Any-to-Many Voice Conversion with Annealed Langevin Dynamics
Hirokazu Kameoka, Takuhiro Kaneko, Kou Tanaka +2
In this paper, we propose a non-parallel any-to-many voice conversion (VC) method termed VoiceGrad. Inspired by WaveGrad, a recently introduced novel waveform generation method, Vo…
X-DC: Explainable Deep Clustering based on Learnable Spectrogram Templates
Chihiro Watanabe, Hirokazu Kameoka
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved substantial predictive performance in various speech processing tasks. Particularly, it has been shown that a monaural speech separation t…
Pretraining Techniques for Sequence-to-Sequence Voice Conversion
Wen-Chin Huang, Tomoki Hayashi, Yi-Chiao Wu +2
Sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) voice conversion (VC) models are attractive owing to their ability to convert prosody. Nonetheless, without sufficient data, seq2seq VC models can su…
Nonparallel Voice Conversion with Augmented Classifier Star Generative Adversarial Networks
Hirokazu Kameoka, Takuhiro Kaneko, Kou Tanaka +1
We previously proposed a method that allows for nonparallel voice conversion (VC) by using a variant of generative adversarial networks (GANs) called StarGAN. The main features of…
Many-to-Many Voice Transformer Network
Hirokazu Kameoka, Wen-Chin Huang, Kou Tanaka +3
This paper proposes a voice conversion (VC) method based on a sequence-to-sequence (S2S) learning framework, which enables simultaneous conversion of the voice characteristics, pit…
