Analysis of State - Space Model based Voice Conversion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new State-Space Model (SSM) based voice conversion method has been proposed recently which outperforms the traditional Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) method. Although the implementation process of the new method has been elaborated, the theoretical essence of this method has not been analysed clearly. In this paper an exhaustive analysis of the SSM based method is given theoretically and experimentally. Through these analysis, much simpler equivalence form and performance upper bound of the new method are obtained. Finally possible improvements are discussed. Streszczenie. Przedstawiono teoretyczna i eksperymentalną analizę nowego algorytm SSM przetwarzania sygnału mowy. (Model SSM przetwarzania sygnałów głosowych)

Using Context-based Statistical Models to Promote the Quality of Voice Conversion Systems
This article aims to examine methods of optimizing GMM-based voice conversion systems performance in which GMM method is introduced as the basic method for improvement of voice conversion systems performance. In the current methods, due to using a single conversion function to convert all speech units and subsequent spectral smoothing arising from statistical averaging, we will observe quality ...
متن کاملOne-to-Many Voice Conversion Based on Tensor Representation of Speaker Space
This paper describes a novel approach to flexible control of speaker characteristics using tensor representation of speaker space. In voice conversion studies, realization of conversion from/to an arbitrary speaker’s voice is one of the important objectives. For this purpose, eigenvoice conversion (EVC) based on an eigenvoice Gaussian mixture model (EV-GMM) was proposed. In the EVC, similarly t...

متن کاملParametric Speech Coding Framework for Voice Conversion Based on Mixed Excitation Model
Adaptation of mixed-excitation linear predictive (MELP) model for application in voice conversion is presented. The adapted model features only numerical parameters which can be used for phonetic space transformation from source to target speaker using methods of machine learning. The validity of the model was demonstrated by applying transformation to both the pitch and the spectral envelope o...
متن کاملReachability checking in complex and concurrent software systems using intelligent search methods
Software system verification is an efficient technique for ensuring the correctness of a software product, especially in safety-critical systems in which a small bug may have disastrous consequences. The goal of software verification is to ensure that the product fulfills the requirements. Studies show that the cost of finding and fixing errors in design time is less than finding and fixing the...
