In speaker-independent speech emotion recognition, the training and testing samples are collected from diverse speakers, leading to a multi-domain shift challenge across the feature distributions of data from different speakers. Consequently, when the trained model is confronted with data from new s…
In this paper, we propose Prosody-aware VITS (PAVITS) for emotional voice conversion (EVC), aiming to achieve two major objectives of EVC: high content naturalness and high emotional naturalness, which are crucial for meeting the demands of human perception. To improve the content naturalness of con…
Swin-Transformer has demonstrated remarkable success in computer vision by leveraging its hierarchical feature representation based on Transformer. In speech signals, emotional information is distributed across different scales of speech features, e. g., word, phrase, and utterance. Drawing above in…
In this paper, we propose a novel deep transfer learning method called deep implicit distribution alignment networks (DIDAN) to deal with cross-corpus speech emotion recognition (SER) problem, in which the labeled training (source) and unlabeled testing (target) speech signals come from different co…
