Tonal context labeling using quantized F0 symbols for improving tone correctness in average-voice-based speech synthesis
This paper proposes a technique for improving tone correctness in Thai speech synthesis based on an average voice model trained with nonprofessional speech corpus. The proposed te...

Detection of synthetic speech for the problem of imposture
In this paper, we present new results from our research into the vulnerability of a speaker verification (SV) system to synthetic speech. We use a HMM-based speech synthesizer, w...

Revisiting the security of speaker verification systems against imposture using synthetic speech
In this paper, we investigate imposture using synthetic speech. Although this problem was first examined over a decade ago, dramatic improvements in both speaker verification (S...
