Deep Denoising Auto-encoder for Statistical Speech Synthesis
This paper proposes a deep denoising auto-encoder technique to extract better acoustic features for speech synthesis. The technique allows us to automatically extract low-dimensional features from high dimensional spectral features in a non-linear, data-driven, unsupervised way. We compared the new stochastic feature extractor with conventional mel-cepstral analysis in analysis-by-synthesis and text-to-speech experiments. Our results confirm that the proposed method increases the quality of synthetic speech in both experiments.

A Deep Learning Approach to Data-driven Parameterizations for Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis
Nearly all Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesizers today use Mel Cepstral coefficients as the vocal tract parameterization of the speech signal. Mel Cepstral coefficients were never intended to work in a parametric sp…

Although diffusion-based, non-autoregressive text-to-speech (TTS) systems have demonstrated impressive zero-shot synthesis capabilities, their efficacy is still hindered by two key challenges: the difficulty of text-spee…
Deep Encoder-Decoder Models for Unsupervised Learning of Controllable Speech Synthesis
Generating versatile and appropriate synthetic speech requires control over the output expression separate from the spoken text. Important non-textual speech variation is seldom annotated, in which case output control mu…
