Our previous analysis of speaker-adaptive HMM-based speech synthesis methods suggested that there are two possible reasons why average voices can obtain higher subjective scores t...

This paper takes phonetic information into account for data alignment in text-independent voice conversion. Hidden Markov Models are used for representing the phonetic structure o...

Spectral voice conversion is usually performed using a single model selected in order to represent a tradeoff between goodness of fit and complexity. Recently, we proposed a new ...
Voice conversion has become more and more important in speech technology, but most of current works have to use parallel utterances of both source and target speaker as the traini...
We have already proposed using evolutionary computation to adjust the voice quality conversion parameters, and we have reported that this approach produces results that are not onl...
