Dynamic model selection for spectral voice conversion
Statistical methods for voice conversion are usually based on a single model selected in order to represent a tradeoff between goodness of fit and complexity. In this paper we ass...

Synthesis of fast speech with interpolation of adapted HSMMs and its evaluation by blind and sighted listeners
In this paper we evaluate a method for generating synthetic speech at high speaking rates based on the interpolation of hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) trained on speech data re...

Developing Objective Measures of Foreign-Accent Conversion
Various methods have recently appeared to transform foreign-accented speech into its native-accented counterpart. Evaluation of these accent conversion methods requires extensive l...

Voice Conversion Using Partial Least Squares Regression
Abstract--Voice conversion can be formulated as finding a mapping function which transforms the features of the source speaker to those of the target speaker. Gaussian mixture mode...

Non-parallel training for many-to-many eigenvoice conversion
This paper presents a novel training method of an eigenvoice Gaussian mixture model (EV-GMM) effectively using non-parallel data sets for many-to-many eigenvoice conversion, which...
