Manipulation of oral cancer speech using neural articulatory synthesis

no code implementations31 Mar 2022 Bence Mark Halpern, Teja Rebernik, Thomas Tienkamp, Rob van Son, Michiel van den Brekel, Martijn Wieling, Max Witjes, Odette Scharenborg

We present an articulatory synthesis framework for the synthesis and manipulation of oral cancer speech for clinical decision making and alleviation of patient stress.

The Effectiveness of Time Stretching for Enhancing Dysarthric Speech for Improved Dysarthric Speech Recognition

no code implementations13 Jan 2022 Luke Prananta, Bence Mark Halpern, Siyuan Feng, Odette Scharenborg

In this paper, we investigate several existing and a new state-of-the-art generative adversarial network-based (GAN) voice conversion method for enhancing dysarthric speech for improved dysarthric speech recognition.

Towards Identity Preserving Normal to Dysarthric Voice Conversion

no code implementations15 Oct 2021 Wen-Chin Huang, Bence Mark Halpern, Lester Phillip Violeta, Odette Scharenborg, Tomoki Toda

We present a voice conversion framework that converts normal speech into dysarthric speech while preserving the speaker identity.

An Objective Evaluation Framework for Pathological Speech Synthesis

no code implementations1 Jul 2021 Bence Mark Halpern, Julian Fritsch, Enno Hermann, Rob van Son, Odette Scharenborg, Mathew Magimai. -Doss

The development of pathological speech systems is currently hindered by the lack of a standardised objective evaluation framework.

Pathological voice adaptation with autoencoder-based voice conversion

no code implementations15 Jun 2021 Marc Illa, Bence Mark Halpern, Rob van Son, Laureano Moro-Velazquez, Odette Scharenborg

This approach alleviates the evaluation problem one normally has when converting typical speech to pathological speech, as in our approach, the voice conversion (VC) model does not need to be optimised for speech degradation but only for the speaker change.

Quantifying Bias in Automatic Speech Recognition

1 code implementation28 Mar 2021 Siyuan Feng, Olya Kudina, Bence Mark Halpern, Odette Scharenborg

Practice and recent evidence suggests that the state-of-the-art (SotA) ASRs struggle with the large variation in speech due to e. g., gender, age, speech impairment, race, and accents.
