Vocal attractiveness of statistical speech synthesisers
Our previous analysis of speaker-adaptive HMM-based speech synthesis methods suggested that there are two possible reasons why average voices can obtain higher subjective scores t...

Phoneme cluster based state mapping for text-independent voice conversion
This paper takes phonetic information into account for data alignment in text-independent voice conversion. Hidden Markov Models are used for representing the phonetic structure o...

Objective evaluation of the Dynamic Model Selection method for spectral voice conversion
Spectral voice conversion is usually performed using a single model selected in order to represent a tradeoff between goodness of fit and complexity. Recently, we proposed a new ...

Text-independent voice conversion based on state mapped codebook
Voice conversion has become more and more important in speech technology, but most of current works have to use parallel utterances of both source and target speaker as the traini...

Achieving Shorter Search Times in Voice Conversion Using Interactive Evolution
We have already proposed using evolutionary computation to adjust the voice quality conversion parameters, and we have reported that this approach produces results that are not onl...
