Distribution Augmentation for Low-Resource Expressive Text-To-Speech

ICASSP 2022accepted

This paper presents a novel data augmentation technique for text-to-speech (TTS), that allows to generate new (text, audio) training examples without requiring any additional data. Our goal is to in-crease diversity of text conditionings available during training. This helps to reduce overfitting, e…

Camp: A Two-Stage Approach to Modelling Prosody in Context

ICASSP 2021accepted

Prosody is an integral part of communication, but remains an open problem in state-of-the-art speech synthesis. There are two major issues faced when modelling prosody: (1) prosody varies at a slower rate compared with other content in the acoustic signal (e.g. segmental information and background n…

Prosodic Representation Learning and Contextual Sampling for Neural Text-to-Speech

ICASSP 2021accepted

In this paper, we introduce Kathaka, a model trained with a novel two-stage training process for neural speech synthesis with contextually appropriate prosody. In Stage I, we learn a prosodic distribution at the sentence level from mel-spectrograms available during training. In Stage II, we propose…
