Non-Parallel Voice Conversion System With WaveNet Vocoder and Collapsed Speech Suppression

2020 · IEEE Access

In this paper, we integrate a simple non-parallel voice conversion (VC) system with a WaveNet (WN) vocoder and a proposed collapsed speech suppression technique. The effectiveness of WN as a vocoder for generating high-fidelity speech …

Quasi-Periodic Parallel WaveGAN Vocoder: A Non-Autoregressive Pitch-Dependent Dilated Convolution Model for Parametric Speech Generation

2020

In this paper, we propose a parallel WaveGAN (PWG)-like neural vocoder with a quasi-periodic (QP) architecture to improve the pitch controllability of PWG. PWG is a compact non-autoregressive (non-AR) speech generation model, whose generative speed …

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 …
