Daft-Exprt: Cross-Speaker Prosody Transfer on Any Text for Expressive Speech Synthesis

2022 · Interspeech 2022

This paper presents Daft-Exprt, a multi-speaker acoustic model advancing the state-of-the-art for cross-speaker prosody transfer on any text.This is one of the most challenging, and rarely directly addressed, task in speech synthesis, especially for highly …

LinearVC: Linear transformations of self-supervised features through the lens of voice conversion

2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We introduce LinearVC, a simple voice conversion method that sheds light on the structure of self-supervised representations. First, we show that simple linear transformations of self-supervised features effectively convert voices. Next, we probe the geometry …
