Probabilistic Voice Conversion Using Gaussian Mixture Models
This paper explores the topic of voice conversion as explored in a joint project with Percy Liang (EECS, Berkeley). For our purposes, voice conversion is the process of modifying the speech signal of one speaker (source) so that it sounds as thought it had been pronounced by a different speaker (target). By using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to model the features of the source speaker, we can...
متن کاملEfficient Gaussian mixture model evaluation in voice conversion
Voice conversion refers to the adaptation of the characteristics of a source speaker's voice to those of a target speaker. Gaussian mixture models (GMM) have been found to be efficient in the voice conversion task. The GMM parameters are estimated from a training set with the goal to minimize the mean squared error (MSE) between the transformed and target vectors. Obviously, the quality of the ...
متن کاملStraight-based voice conversion algorithm based on Gaussian mixture model
The voice conversion algorithm based on the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) has also been proposed by Stylianou et al. In this algorithm, the acoustic space of a speaker is represented continuously. In this paper, we apply this GMMbased voice conversion algorithm to STRAIGHT proposed by Kawahara et al., which is recognized as a high quality vocoder. In order to evaluate this voice conversion algor...
متن کاملEsophageal Speech Enhancement Based on Statistical Voice Conversion with Gaussian Mixture Models
This paper presents a novel method of enhancing esophageal speech using statistical voice conversion. Esophageal speech is one of the alternative speaking methods for laryngectomees. Although it doesn’t require any external devices, generated voices usually sound unnatural compared with normal speech. To improve the intelligibility and naturalness of esophageal speech, we propose a voice conver...
متن کاملOnline training evaluation in VR simulators using Gaussian Mixture Models.
A new approach to evaluate training in simulators based on virtual reality is proposed. This approach uses Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) for modeling and classification of the simulation in pre-defined classes of training.
