• Abstract: It was recently shown that complex cepstrum can be effectively used for glottal flow estimation by separating the causal and anticausal components of speech. In order to guarantee a correct estimation, some constraints on the window have been derived. Among these, the window has to be synchronized on a Glottal Closure Instant. This paper proposes an extension of the complex cepstrum-based decomposition by incorporating a chirp analysis. The resulting method is shown to give a reliable estimation of the glottal flow wherever the window is located. This technique is then suited for its integration in usual speech processing systems, which generally operate in an asynchronous way. Besides its potential for automatic voice quality analysis is highlighted.

  We present a novel approach for sampling from a continuous multivariate probability distribution, which may either be explicitly known (up to a normalization factor) or represented via empirical samples. Our method constructs a time-dependent bridge from a delta function centered at the origin of the state space at $t=0$, transforming it into the target distribution at $t=1$. We contrast these algorithms with other sampling methods, particularly simulated and path integral sampling, highlighting their advantages in terms of analytical control, accuracy, and computational efficiency.

  This study demonstrates, for the first time, that the synthesis-based approach can also perform well on this problem. Specifically, we propose a novel speech separation/enhancement model based on the recognition of discrete symbols. By utilizing the synthesis model with the input of discrete symbols, after the prediction of discrete symbol sequence, each target speech could be re-synthesized.

  We propose a simple method to derive 2D representation from detection scores produced by an arbitrary set of binary classifiers. Based upon rank correlations, our method facilitates a visual comparison of classifiers with arbitrary scores. While the approach is fully versatile and can be applied to any detection task, we demonstrate the method using scores produced by automatic speaker verification and voice anti-spoofing systems.

  This paper introduces a defense approach against end-to-end adversarial attacks developed for cutting-edge speech-to-text systems. First, we represent speech signals with 2D spectrograms using the short-time Fourier transform. Second, we iteratively find a safe vector using a spectrogram subspace projection operation. Third, we synthesize a spectrogram with such a safe vector using a novel GAN architecture trained with Sobolev integral probability metric.

  This paper proposes an any-to-many location-relative, sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq), non-parallel voice conversion approach. In this approach, we combine a bottle-neck feature extractor (BNE) with a seq2seq synthesis module. Objective and subjective evaluations show that the proposed any-to-many approach has superior voice conversion performance in terms of both naturalness and speaker similarity.
