Any-to-any voice conversion using representation separation auto-encoder by Zhihua JIAN, Zixu ZHANG

“…In view of the problem that it was difficult to separate speaker personality characteristics from semantic content information in any-to-any voice conversion under non-parallel corpus, which led to unsatisfied performance, a voice conversion method, called RSAE-VC (representation separation auto-encoder voice conversion) was proposed.The speaker’s personality characteristics in the speech were regarded as time invariant and the content information as time variant, and the instance normalization and activation guidance layer were used in the encoder to separate them from each other.Then the content information of the source speech and the personality characteristics of the target one was utilized to synthesize the converted speech by the decoder.The experimental results demonstrate that RSAE-VC has an average reduction of 3.11% and 2.41% in Mel cepstral distance and root mean square error of pitch frequency respectively, and has an increasement of 5.22% in MOS and 8.45% in ABX, compared with the AGAIN-VC (activation guidance and adaptive instance normalization voice conversion) method.In RSAE-VC, self-content loss is applied to make the converted speech reserve more content information, and self-speaker loss is used to separate the speaker personality characteristics from the speech better, which ensure the speaker personality characteristics be left in the content information as little as possible, and the conversion performance is improved.…”
