A Modularized Neural Network with Language-Specific Output Layers for Cross-lingual Voice Conversion

2019 · arXiv (Cornell University)

This paper presents a cross-lingual voice conversion framework that adopts a modularized neural network. The modularized neural network has a common input structure that is shared for both languages, and two separate output modules, one …

On the Curious Case of $\ell_2$ norm of Sense Embeddings

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We show that the $\ell_2$ norm of a static sense embedding encodes information related to the frequency of that sense in the training corpus used to learn the sense embeddings. This finding can be seen …

Verus: Verifying Rust Programs using Linear Ghost Types

2023 · Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages

The Rust programming language provides a powerful type system that checks linearity and borrowing, allowing code to safely manipulate memory without garbage collection and making Rust ideal for developing low-level, high-assurance systems. For such systems, …

RefXVC: Cross-Lingual Voice Conversion With Enhanced Reference Leveraging

2024 · IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio Speech and Language Processing

This paper proposes RefXVC, a method for cross-lingual voice conversion (XVC) that leverages reference information to improve conversion performance. Previous XVC works generally take an average speaker embedding to condition the speaker identity, which does …
