On the Use of Self-Supervised Speech Representations in Spontaneous Speech Synthesis
Siyang Wang, Gustav Eje Henter, Joakim Gustafson +1
Self-supervised learning (SSL) speech representations learned from large amounts of diverse, mixed-quality speech data without transcriptions are gaining ground in many speech tech…
Automatic Evaluation of Turn-taking Cues in Conversational Speech Synthesis
Erik Ekstedt, Siyang Wang, Éva Székely +2
Turn-taking is a fundamental aspect of human communication where speakers convey their intention to either hold, or yield, their turn through prosodic cues. Using the recently prop…
A Comparative Study of Self-Supervised Speech Representations in Read and Spontaneous TTS
Siyang Wang, Gustav Eje Henter, Joakim Gustafson +1
Recent work has explored using self-supervised learning (SSL) speech representations such as wav2vec2.0 as the representation medium in standard two-stage TTS, in place of conventi…
Prosody-controllable spontaneous TTS with neural HMMs
Harm Lameris, Shivam Mehta, Gustav Eje Henter +2
Spontaneous speech has many affective and pragmatic functions that are interesting and challenging to model in TTS. However, the presence of reduced articulation, fillers, repetiti…
Integrated Speech and Gesture Synthesis
Siyang Wang, Simon Alexanderson, Joakim Gustafson +3
Text-to-speech and co-speech gesture synthesis have until now been treated as separate areas by two different research communities, and applications merely stack the two technologi…
A Comparison of Visualisation Methods for Disambiguating Verbal Requests in Human-Robot Interaction
Elena Sibirtseva, Dimosthenis Kontogiorgos, Olov Nykvist +4
Picking up objects requested by a human user is a common task in human-robot interaction. When multiple objects match the user's verbal description, the robot needs to clarify whic…
Machine Learning and Social Robotics for Detecting Early Signs of Dementia
Patrik Jonell, Joseph Mendelson, Thomas Storskog +12
This paper presents the EACare project, an ambitious multi-disciplinary collaboration with the aim to develop an embodied system, capable of carrying out neuropsychological tests t…
