• Abstract: Previous generative adversarial network (GAN)-based neural vocoders are trained to reconstruct the exact ground truth waveform from the paired mel-spectrogram and do not consider the one-to-many relationship of speech synthesis. This conventional training causes overfitting for both the discriminators and the generator, leading to the periodicity artifacts in the generated audio signal. In this work, we present PhaseAug, the first differentiable augmentation for speech synthesis that rotates the phase of each frequency bin to simulate one-to-many mapping. With our proposed method, we outperform baselines without any architecture modification. Code and audio samples will be available at https://github.com/mindslab-ai/phaseaug.

  This work proposes a diffusion probabilistic end-to-end model for generating a raw speech waveform. Our model is autoregressive, generating overlapping frames sequentially, where each frame is conditioned on a portion of the previously generated one. Experiments show that the proposed model generates speech with superior quality compared with other state-of-the-art neural speech generation systems.

  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.
