Spontaneous behaviors in speech pose significant challenges for speech synthesis. Existing research has not adequately addressed these behaviors, with most studies relying on specially recorded datasets. In contrast, real-world data more accurately reflects the natural, spontaneous speaking styles i…
To address the issue of one-to-many mapping from phoneme sequences to acoustic features in expressive speech synthesis, this paper proposes a method of discourse-level prosody modeling with a variational autoencoder (VAE) based on the non-autoregressive architecture of FastSpeech. In this method, ph…
Free-form Jacobian of Reversible Dynamics(FFJORD) is a flowbased invertible generative model defined by ordinary differential equations (ODE). Inspired by WaveGlow, in this paper, we propose WaveFFJORD, a neural vocoder that can synthesize speech waveforms from acoustic features, by combining FFJORD…
