Controllable Emphatic Speech Synthesis based on Forward Attention for Expressive Speech Synthesis

2021

In speech interaction scenarios, speech emphasis is essential for expressing the underlying intention and attitude. Recently, end-to-end emphatic speech synthesis greatly improves the naturalness of synthetic speech, but also brings new problems: 1) lack of …

Effective and Robust Physical-World Attacks on Deep Learning Face Recognition Systems

2021 · IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been increasingly used in face recognition (FR) systems. Recent studies, however, show that DNNs are vulnerable to adversarial examples, which potentially mislead DNN-based FR systems in the physical world. Existing …

Towards Multi-Scale Speaking Style Modelling with Hierarchical Context Information for Mandarin Speech Synthesis

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Previous works on expressive speech synthesis focus on modelling the mono-scale style embedding from the current sentence or context, but the multi-scale nature of speaking style in human speech is neglected. In this paper, we …
