Beyond Voice Identity Conversion: Manipulating Voice Attributes by Adversarial Learning of Structured Disentangled Representations

no code implementations26 Jul 2021 Laurent Benaroya, Nicolas Obin, Axel Roebel

Voice conversion (VC) consists of digitally altering the voice of an individual to manipulate part of its content, primarily its identity, while maintaining the rest unchanged.

Towards end-to-end F0 voice conversion based on Dual-GAN with convolutional wavelet kernels

no code implementations15 Apr 2021 Clément Le Moine Veillon, Nicolas Obin, Axel Roebel

A single neural network is proposed, in which a first module is used to learn F0 representation over different temporal scales and a second adversarial module is used to learn the transformation from one emotion to another.

Rhapsodie: a Prosodic-Syntactic Treebank for Spoken French

no code implementations LREC 2014 Anne Lacheret, Sylvain Kahane, Julie Beliao, Anne Dister, Kim Gerdes, Jean-Philippe Goldman, Nicolas Obin, Pietr, Paola rea, Atanas Tchobanov

The main objective of the Rhapsodie project (ANR Rhapsodie 07 Corp-030-01) was to define rich, explicit, and reproducible schemes for the annotation of prosody and syntax in different genres ({\^A}{\mbox{$\pm$}} spontaneous, {\^A}{\mbox{$\pm$}} planned, face-to-face interviews vs. broadcast, etc.
