NU-GAN: High resolution neural upsampling with GAN

Rithesh Kumar, Kundan Kumar, Vicki Anand +2

In this paper, we propose NU-GAN, a new method for resampling audio from lower to higher sampling rates (upsampling). Audio upsampling is an important problem since productionizing…

MelGAN: Generative Adversarial Networks for Conditional Waveform Synthesis

Kundan Kumar, Rithesh Kumar, Thibault de Boissiere +6

Previous works (Donahue et al., 2018a; Engel et al., 2019a) have found that generating coherent raw audio waveforms with GANs is challenging. In this paper, we show that it is poss…

ObamaNet: Photo-realistic lip-sync from text

Rithesh Kumar, Jose Sotelo, Kundan Kumar +2

We present ObamaNet, the first architecture that generates both audio and synchronized photo-realistic lip-sync videos from any new text. Contrary to other published lip-sync appro…

On Random Weights for Texture Generation in One Layer Neural Networks

Mihir Mongia, Kundan Kumar, Akram Erraqabi +1

Recent work in the literature has shown experimentally that one can use the lower layers of a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) to model natural textures. More interesting…

SampleRNN: An Unconditional End-to-End Neural Audio Generation Model

Soroush Mehri, Kundan Kumar, Ishaan Gulrajani +5

In this paper we propose a novel model for unconditional audio generation based on generating one audio sample at a time. We show that our model, which profits from combining memor…

PixelVAE: A Latent Variable Model for Natural Images

Ishaan Gulrajani, Kundan Kumar, Faruk Ahmed +4

Natural image modeling is a landmark challenge of unsupervised learning. Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) learn a useful latent representation and model global structure well but ha…
