Predicting pairwise preferences between TTS audio stimuli using parallel ratings data and anti-symmetric twin neural networks

1 code implementation22 Sep 2022 Cassia Valentini-Botinhao, Manuel Sam Ribeiro, Oliver Watts, Korin Richmond, Gustav Eje Henter

While previous work has focused on predicting listeners' ratings (mean opinion scores) of individual stimuli, we focus on the simpler task of predicting subjective preference given two speech stimuli for the same text.

Median-Based Generation of Synthetic Speech Durations using a Non-Parametric Approach

no code implementations22 Aug 2016 Srikanth Ronanki, Oliver Watts, Simon King, Gustav Eje Henter

This paper proposes a new approach to duration modelling for statistical parametric speech synthesis in which a recurrent statistical model is trained to output a phone transition probability at each timestep (acoustic frame).
