Voice transformation (VT) aims to change one or more aspects of a speech signal while
preserving linguistic information. A subset of VT, Voice conversion (VC) specifically aims to …

In this paper a classification-based method for the automatic detection of glottal closure
instants (GCIs) from the speech signal is proposed. Peaks in the speech waveforms are …

Voice conversion is an emergent problem in voice and speech processing with increasing
commercial interest, due to applications such as Speech-to-Speech Translation (SST) and …

A large number of methods for identifying glottal closure instants (GCIs) in voiced speech
have been proposed in recent years. In this paper, we propose to take advantage of both …

Dentro de las tecnologías del habla, la conversión de voz consiste en transformar la voz de
un hablante, llamado hablante origen, de tal modo que los oyentes la perciban como si …

In voice conversion task, prosody conversion especially pitch conversion is a very
challenging research topic because of the discontinuity property of pitch. Conventionally …

Glottal closure instants (GCI) also called as instants of significant excitation occur during
abrupt closure of vocal folds is a well-studied problem for its many potential applications in …

In this study, we propose a new intonation adaptation method to transform the perceived
identity of a Text-To-Speech system to that of a target speaker with a small amount of …

This dissertation aims to propose spectral modelings and spectral modification algorithms to
improve the quality of modified speech in voice transformation. Voice transformation is a …

While both spectral and prosody transformation are important for voice conversion (VC),
traditional methods have focused on the conversion of spectral features with less emphasis …
