DuTa-VC: A Duration-aware Typical-to-atypical Voice Conversion Approach with Diffusion Probabilistic Model

1 code implementation18 Jun 2023 Helin Wang, Thomas Thebaud, Jesus Villalba, Myra Sydnor, Becky Lammers, Najim Dehak, Laureano Moro-Velazquez

We present a novel typical-to-atypical voice conversion approach (DuTa-VC), which (i) can be trained with nonparallel data (ii) first introduces diffusion probabilistic model (iii) preserves the target speaker identity (iv) is aware of the phoneme duration of the target speaker.
