• Title: Vocalsound: A Dataset for Improving Human Vocal Sounds Recognition
• Authors: Yuan Gong, Jin Yu, James Glass
• Abstract summary: We have created a VocalSound dataset consisting of over 21,000 crowdsourced recordings of laughter, sighs, coughs, throat clearing, sneezes, and sniffs. Experiments show that the vocal sound recognition performance of a model can be significantly improved by 41.9% by adding VocalSound dataset to an existing dataset as training material.

• Abstract: Recognizing human non-speech vocalizations is an important task and has broad applications such as automatic sound transcription and health condition monitoring. However, existing datasets have a relatively small number of vocal sound samples or noisy labels. As a consequence, state-of-the-art audio event classification models may not perform well in detecting human vocal sounds. To support research on building robust and accurate vocal sound recognition, we have created a VocalSound dataset consisting of over 21,000 crowdsourced recordings of laughter, sighs, coughs, throat clearing, sneezes, and sniffs from 3,365 unique subjects. Experiments show that the vocal sound recognition performance of a model can be significantly improved by 41.9% by adding VocalSound dataset to an existing dataset as training material. In addition, different from previous datasets, the VocalSound dataset contains meta information such as speaker age, gender, native language, country, and health condition.

  We propose Prompt-Singer, the first SVS method that enables attribute controlling on singer gender, vocal range and volume with natural language. We adopt a model architecture based on a decoder-only transformer with a multi-scale hierarchy, and design a range-melody decoupled pitch representation. Experiments show that our model achieves favorable controlling ability and audio quality.

  This work proposes a melody-unsupervised multi-speaker pre-training method to enhance the vocal range of the single-speaker. It is the first to introduce a differentiable duration regulator to improve the rhythm naturalness of the synthesized voice. Experimental results verify that the proposed SVS system outperforms the baseline on both sound quality and naturalness.
