Exemplar-based Speech Waveform Generation Open
This paper presents a simple but effective method for generating speech waveforms by selecting small units of stored speech to match a low-dimensional target representation. The method is designed as a drop-in replacement for the vocoder i…
Direct Modelling of Magnitude and Phase Spectra for Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis Open
We propose a simple new representation for the FFT spectrum tailored to statistical parametric speech synthesis. It consists of four feature streams that describe magnitude, phase and fundamental frequency using real numbers. The proposed …

Applying Spectral Normalisation and Efficient Envelope Estimation and Statistical Transformation for the Voice Conversion Challenge 2016 Open
In this work we present our entry for the Voice Conversion Challenge 2016, denoting new features to previous work on GMM-based voice conversion. We incorporate frequency warping and pitch transposition strategies to perform a normalisation…
Waveform Generation Based on Signal Reshaping for Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis Open
We propose a new paradigm of waveform generation for Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis that is based on neither source-filter separation nor sinusoidal modelling. We suggest that one of the main problems of current vocoding technique…
Listening test materials for "Waveform generation based on signal reshaping for statistical parametric speech synthesis" Open
The dataset contains the testing stimuli and listeners' MUSHRA test responses for the Interspeech 2016 paper "Waveform generation based on signal reshaping for statistical parametric speech synthesis". On this paper, we propose a new parad…
