Mid-attribute speaker generation using optimal-transport-based interpolation of Gaussian mixture models
Aya Watanabe, Shinnosuke Takamichi, Yuki Saito +2
In this paper, we propose a method for intermediating multiple speakers' attributes and diversifying their voice characteristics in ``speaker generation,'' an emerging task that ai…
Multi-Task Adversarial Training Algorithm for Multi-Speaker Neural Text-to-Speech
Yusuke Nakai, Yuki Saito, Kenta Udagawa +1
We propose a novel training algorithm for a multi-speaker neural text-to-speech (TTS) model based on multi-task adversarial training. A conventional generative adversarial network…
Human-in-the-loop Speaker Adaptation for DNN-based Multi-speaker TTS
Kenta Udagawa, Yuki Saito, Hiroshi Saruwatari
This paper proposes a human-in-the-loop speaker-adaptation method for multi-speaker text-to-speech. With a conventional speaker-adaptation method, a target speaker's embedding vect…
Acoustic Modeling for End-to-End Empathetic Dialogue Speech Synthesis Using Linguistic and Prosodic Contexts of Dialogue History
Yuto Nishimura, Yuki Saito, Shinnosuke Takamichi +2
We propose an end-to-end empathetic dialogue speech synthesis (DSS) model that considers both the linguistic and prosodic contexts of dialogue history. Empathy is the active attemp…
STUDIES: Corpus of Japanese Empathetic Dialogue Speech Towards Friendly Voice Agent
Yuki Saito, Yuto Nishimura, Shinnosuke Takamichi +2
We present STUDIES, a new speech corpus for developing a voice agent that can speak in a friendly manner. Humans naturally control their speech prosody to empathize with each other…
