Speech waveform synthesis from MFCC sequences with generative adversarial networks

1 code implementation3 Apr 2018 Lauri Juvela, Bajibabu Bollepalli, Xin Wang, Hirokazu Kameoka, Manu Airaksinen, Junichi Yamagishi, Paavo Alku

This paper proposes a method for generating speech from filterbank mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), which are widely used in speech applications, such as ASR, but are generally considered unusable for speech synthesis.

Generative Adversarial Network Speech Synthesis

A comparison of recent waveform generation and acoustic modeling methods for neural-network-based speech synthesis

no code implementations7 Apr 2018 Xin Wang, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Shinji Takaki, Lauri Juvela, Junichi Yamagishi

Recent advances in speech synthesis suggest that limitations such as the lossy nature of the amplitude spectrum with minimum phase approximation and the over-smoothing effect in acoustic modeling can be overcome by using advanced machine learning approaches.
