Predicting phoneme-level prosody latents using AR and flow-based Prior Networks for expressive speech synthesis

no code implementations2 Nov 2022 Konstantinos Klapsas, Karolos Nikitaras, Nikolaos Ellinas, June Sig Sung, Inchul Hwang, Spyros Raptis, Aimilios Chalamandaris, Pirros Tsiakoulis

A large part of the expressive speech synthesis literature focuses on learning prosodic representations of the speech signal which are then modeled by a prior distribution during inference.

Learning utterance-level representations through token-level acoustic latents prediction for Expressive Speech Synthesis

no code implementations1 Nov 2022 Karolos Nikitaras, Konstantinos Klapsas, Nikolaos Ellinas, Georgia Maniati, June Sig Sung, Inchul Hwang, Spyros Raptis, Aimilios Chalamandaris, Pirros Tsiakoulis

We show that the fine-grained latent space also captures coarse-grained information, which is more evident as the dimension of latent space increases in order to capture diverse prosodic representations.

Fine-grained Noise Control for Multispeaker Speech Synthesis

A text-to-speech (TTS) model typically factorizes speech attributes such as content, speaker and prosody into disentangled representations. Recent works aim to additionally model the acoustic conditions explicitly, in order to disentangle the primary speech factors, i. e. linguistic content, prosody and timbre from any residual factors, such as recording conditions and background noise. This paper proposes unsupervised, interpretable and fine-grained noise and prosody modeling.
