This thesis aimed at conducting research on the synthesis and expressive transformations of
the singing voice, towards the development of a high-quality synthesizer that can generate a …

This paper presents a vocal timbre analysis method based on topic modeling using latent
Dirichlet allocation (LDA). Although many works have focused on analyzing characteristics …

This paper presents a statistical method that estimates a sequence of discrete musical notes
from a temporal trajectory of vocal F0s. Since considerable effort has been devoted to …

Singing voice conversion (SVC) aims to convert the singer identity of a singing voice to that
of another singer. However, most existing SVC systems only perform the conversion of …

This paper proposes a controllable singing voice synthesis system capable of generating
expressive singing voice with two novel methodologies. First, a local style token module …

This paper describes a method that can generate a continuous F0 contour of a singing voice
from a monophonic sequence of musical notes (musical score) by using a deep neural …

Modeling the speech generation process can provide flexible and interpretable ways to
generate intended synthetic speech. In this paper, we present a deep generative model of …

We present a generative model for predicting the sung melodic contour, ie, F 0 contour, with
expressive dynamic fluctuations, such as vibrato and portamento, for a given musical score …

A system for transferring vocal expressions separately from singing voices with
accompaniment to singing voice synthesizers is described. The expressions appear as …

In this paper, we propose a method to synthesize the natural variations of spectral envelope
as intensity varies in singing voice. To this end, we propose a parametric model of spectral …
