Synthesizing Personalized Non-speech Vocalization from Discrete Speech Representations

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We formulated non-speech vocalization (NSV) modeling as a text-to-speech task and verified its viability. Specifically, we evaluated the phonetic expressivity of HUBERT speech units on NSVs and verified our model's ability to control over speaker …

Voice conversion from non-parallel corpora using variational auto-encoder

2016

We propose a flexible framework for spectral conversion (SC) that facilitates training with unaligned corpora. Many SC frameworks require parallel corpora, phonetic alignments, or explicit frame-wise correspondence for learning conversion functions or for synthesizing a …
