KaraSinger: Score-Free Singing Voice Synthesis with VQ-VAE Using Mel-Spectrograms

ICASSP 2022accepted

In this paper, we propose a novel neural network model called KaraSinger for a less-studied singing voice synthesis (SVS) task named score-free SVS, in which the prosody and melody are spontaneously decided by machine. KaraSinger comprises a vector-quantized variational autoencoder (VQ-VAE) that com…

MetricGAN: Generative Adversarial Networks based Black-box Metric Scores Optimization for Speech Enhancement

ICML 2019oral

Adversarial loss in a conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) is not designed to directly optimize evaluation metrics of a target task, and thus, may not always guide the generator in a GAN to generate data with improved metric scores. To overcome this issue, we propose a novel MetricGAN ap…
